How to Get Rid of Blueberry Stains From Concrete

Delicious, healthy blueberries are notorious for creating difficult-to-remove stains. The purple-blue pigment of the berries has contributed toward many stains on clothing, upholstery and carpet. Despite the sturdiness of your concrete surface, the naturally porous stone is also susceptible to blueberry stains. To get rid of blueberry stains on your concrete surface, you must get the stain off the surface and draw out any juice that's been absorbed.
