Summer means sunshine, days spent outdoors... and ice cream! But who hasn't found themselves with a drop of melted ice cream on a white t-shirt or freshly worn pants? Fortunately, removing these stains is easier than it seems—especially if you use the right products. In this article, we'll show you an effective, natural, and environmentally friendly way to remove ice cream stains from your clothes, using two essential allies: Marseille soap and our laundry detergent sheets . Why are ice cream stains so stubborn? Ice cream stains can be particularly insidious because they contain a combination of sugars, fats, and dyes. If left untreated, they risk becoming embedded in fabric fibers, making them much more difficult to remove. But don't worry: with the right approach, you can save even the most delicate garments! 1. Remove excess ice cream Immediately remove the excess with a spoon or stiff paper towel, being careful not to press. Then gently blot with a clean cloth to absorb the residue, avoiding spreading the stain. A simple but effective step! 2. Pre-treat with Marseille soap The second essential step is to pre-treat the stain as soon as possible , ideally before it dries. How to do: Lightly dampen the stained area with cold water. Gently rub the Marseille soap directly onto the stain Leave it to act for about 10-15 minutes , without letting the soap dry. 👉 R5 Marseille soap is a handcrafted soap made by cold-saponifying pure coconut oil. Gentle on fabrics, yet incredibly effective at removing fats and sugars. 3. Washing with R5 Living detergent sheets After the pre-treatment, it's time to move on to washing.
