First sip of pumpkin spice latte lands on your cream-colored cardigan.
From apple cider splashes to butternut squash soup mishaps, autumn comes with a whole new lineup of stains.
The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals or a trip to the dry cleaner to save your clothes. With the right natural know-how, you can tackle seasonal spills and keep your wardrobe looking fresh all fall long.
Pumpkin Spice Latte & Coffee Drinks
The stain: A combo of coffee, milk, and pumpkin puree — basically three different stain types in one.
How to remove it naturally with Bloop:
-
Blot (don’t rub) with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible.
-
Rinse from the back of the fabric with cool water to push the stain out, not deeper in.
-
Make a paste of baking soda + water and gently dab it onto the spot. Let sit for 15 minutes.
-
Rinse again, then wash in warm water with Bloop’s natural laundry soap.
Bloop tip: Treat quickly — coffee tannins set fast.
Apple Cider & Mulled Drinks
The stain: Sugary liquid that can leave sticky, dark patches if not rinsed out quickly.
How to remove it naturally:
-
Rinse with cold water immediately.
-
Mix white vinegar + water (1:2) and dab onto the stain to break down sugars.
-
Wash in warm water with Bloop's natural detergent, adding a half cup of baking soda to deodorize.
Bloop tip: For wool or delicate knits, hand wash instead of machine washing.
Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Puree
The stain: Bright orange pigment that loves to cling to fabric fibers.
How to remove it naturally:
-
Scrape off excess solids with a spoon.
-
Rinse with cold water from the back of the stain.
-
Pre-treat with a small amount of Bloop natural laundry soap directly on the spot, gently working it in.
-
Wash on warm — sunlight after drying can help fade stubborn pigment.
Bloop tip: Avoid hot water at first — it can set the color.
Red Wine & Fall Cocktails
The stain: Deep tannin pigments that seem to scream “forever stain.”
How to remove it naturally:
-
Blot (never rub!) to soak up as much liquid as possible.
-
Sprinkle salt generously over the spot to absorb more wine.
-
Rinse with cool water, then soak in a mix of baking soda + water for 30 minutes.
-
Wash as usual in cold water with Bloop natural laundry soap.
Bloop tip: The sooner you start, the better your chances.
Leaf Pile Dirt & Mud
The stain: Earthy mix of soil and organic matter — easy to smear, hard to remove once dry.
How to remove it naturally:
-
Let mud dry completely (yes, really) so you can brush off solids without smearing.
-
Pre-treat with a paste of baking soda + water.
-
Wash in warm water with Bloop’s natural laundry soap.
Bloop tip: For white clothes, add a dash of vinegar in the rinse cycle to brighten.
Why Natural Works Better for Fall
Fall fabrics tend to be cozy — think knits, flannel, and fleece — but these also absorb more liquid and are prone to damage from harsh detergents.
Bloop’s natural laundry soaps clean deeply without stripping fibers or leaving behind irritants, so your favorite sweater stays soft, season after season.
Fall stains are inevitable, but they don’t have to be permanent. With quick action, the right natural cleaners, and a little Bloop magic, you can keep every pumpkin spice moment worry-free.
