The Fourth of July is all about fireworks, family, and food—but it’s also a minefield for tough summer stains. From dripping popsicles and greasy burgers to powder from sparklers, your clothes (and your kids’ clothes) can take a hit.
At Paradise Laundry in Citrus Heights and Roseville, CA, we’re here to help you enjoy the party and leave the cleanup to us. Whether you’re using our self-service laundromats or drop-off laundry service through Aloha Wash N Wear, you’ll get access to our free ozone wash technology that helps lift stains and sanitize every load—no extra charge.
🎆 Common July 4th Stains (and How to Remove Them)
Here’s how to tackle the most common Independence Day laundry disasters:
1. BBQ Sauce
What to do: Scrape off excess sauce and rinse the stain with cold water from the back. Pretreat with a stain remover or liquid detergent.
Pro tip: At Paradise Laundry, our ozone wash system helps break down stubborn proteins in BBQ sauce, leaving your clothes cleaner than ever.
2. Ketchup & Mustard
What to do: Blot, don’t rub. Flush with cold water, then use a gentle dish soap or enzyme-based detergent to pretreat.
Bonus: Our free ozone wash cycle penetrates deep into fabric fibers, helping lift oily residues from dress shirts and kids’ tees.
3. Popsicle or Fruit Punch
What to do: Rinse with cold water ASAP. Soak in a mix of water and white vinegar before washing.
Better yet: Let us handle it—drop your stained clothes off at Aloha Wash N Wear and we’ll do the rest. Learn more about our drop-off laundry service »
4. Firework Residue or Ash
What to do: Shake out any powder, pretreat with a detergent paste, and wash using hot water if fabric allows.
Sanitize naturally: Ozone in our washers helps neutralize chemicals and odors without harsh detergents—great for sensitive skin.
