Berries contain natural pigments that can leave strong-colored marks on light clothing. Ariel advises treating those stains quickly. Its capsule-based method puts the product in the bottom of an empty machine drum before loading the stained items, with dosing checked against the instructions on the pack.

Select the highest wash temperature permitted by the clothing's care label, rather than applying the same heat setting to every summer garment. Remove the items when the cycle finishes. Strawberries, blackberries, and other berries differ in color, but the guide keeps the washing decision tied to the fabric and the chosen laundry product.
