Sunlight, especially UV, can change berry pigments in textiles by fading, shifting, or unevenly altering the color over time. The same exposure can also weaken some fibers, so a fabric may lose both color strength and overall integrity if it sits in direct sun for long periods.
Impact of Sunlight on Berry Pigments in Textiles
Steps to Take Right Away
- Blot immediately. Use a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.
What Not to Do
- Don't use hot water initially. Heat can set many stains permanently.
