- Alcohol: – Alcoholic beverages can damage silk or acetate. They also can cause dyes to fade or disappear.
- Lemonade – Acidic lemon juice may cause colored dyes to fade or change.
- Candy Apples – These should wash out unless the apple contains a lot of red dye. Then washing may only make it worse.
