Just like other vegetables, carrots contain natural dyes that can discolor certain materials including plastic. Since plastic is porous, it can readily take in dyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us now take a close look at the different methods on how to remove carrot stains from plastic baby spoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Add 1 oz. of vegetable oil into a basin. Immerse a paper towel or cotton ball until soaked by the oil. Brush the stain on the baby spoon until it fully fades. Once it has vanished, wash using water and soap to get rid of the oil.<\/li><li>Add water and dishwashing soap over the site of the stain. With a sponge or brush, scrub on the mark until it has vanished and rinse thoroughly. The degreasing properties of the soap can break through the carrot\u2019s natural oils which can remove the stain.<\/li><li>Add 1 oz. of isopropyl alcohol in a small basin. Immerse a cotton ball into the liquid. Dab the cotton ball on the stain, rubbing it back and forth. Continue to scrub until the stain is gone and wash with soap and water to get rid of any leftover alcohol residue.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_get_carrot_stains_out_of_a_juicer\"><\/span><strong>How do you get carrot stains out of a juicer?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a juicer at home, it can be an ordeal to end up with carrot stains on it.

Take note that beta-carotene is essential for night vision, but not on your clothes. Once it stains on clothing, it can embed into the fabric and can be stubborn to remove.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_on_how_to_remove_carrot_stains_from_clothes\"><\/span><strong>Steps on how to remove carrot stains from clothes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to thoroughly remove carrot stains from clothing, simply follow these steps on how to remove them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get rid of any solid carrot pieces or residue lingering on the garment before treating the stained area.<\/li><li>Rinse the garment in cold water to loosen the carrot residue from the fibers. Avoid using hot water since heat will allow the stain to set, making it almost impossible to remove.<\/li><li>Dab a laundry stain remover that contains enzymes on the stained area. These enzyme-based cleaning agents work by breaking down the proteins and fats comprising organic stains. This will lift the mark from the fabric. The majority of laundry detergent brands offer a selection of this type of stain remover.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Launder the stained garment in the washing machine using regular laundry detergent and color-safe bleach, unless the fabric care label indicates that bleach should not be used. At this point, the mark has been treated and it is safe to use hot water. Do not forget to check the fabric care tag when selecting the water temperature.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Inspect the garment to see if the stain was removed before placing it in the dryer. If a trace of the stain lingers, wash the garment again before putting it in the dryer. If the stain is not completely removed and placed in the dryer, the stain will set permanently.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_water_remove_carrot_stains\"><\/span><strong>Can water remove carrot stains?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When dealing with a minor carrot stain, it can be washed away by placing it under flowing water. Before doing this, you must scrape away any excess carrot from the fabric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This usually works for minor carrot stains, but in cases where the stain is concentrated and covers a wide area, it will take more than flushing with water to remove it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_How_to_get_carrot_stains_out_of_plastic\"><\/span>Video: How to get carrot stains out of plastic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Qser1TR0i_o\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the beta-carotene pigment in carrots, it can leave behind yellowish stains on fabrics and plastic.
