Will vinegar help with stains that are also acidic? Daughter stained
her bathing suit with juice from wild black raspberries, and I am having a hard time getting them out.
Any suggestions?

1. just a quick google away.......
Make sure the clothes are water washable. Test any cleaning method in a hidden spot first. Blot - don't rub. Place a clean white cloth under the stain so it doesn't transfer to other areas of the garment.

Mary Moppins, www.goclean.com, (http://www.goclean.com,) (the other moderator on this site) has had good luck with a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. (Peroxide is a bleach so be sure to look for color change when you test.) Let it soak for 30 minutes then launder as usual. Do not put in dryer until the stain is out. Dryer heat sets stains. You may need to re-treat but it should come out.

2. Try cream of tartar
or sodium percarbonate.
