LILIES can often make a lovely addition to the home – but the flowers can also make a mess.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pollen can stain <\/span>clothes<\/span> and <\/span>carpets<\/span> and may also harm <\/span>cats<\/span> – here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How can you remove lily pollen from clothes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your beautiful bouquet has produced some not-so-pretty stains on your clothes don\u2019t panic – the good news is that there are ways to remove them.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>laundry<\/span> experts at <\/span>Persil<\/span>, for small lily pollen stains you may be able to remove most of the discolouration by simply shaking the fabric vigorously.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if the pollen doesn\u2019t budge – there are a number of other methods you can try.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of which is using a small, <\/span>handheld vacuum cleaner<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Experts at Persil suggest hovering the device approximately one centimetre away from the clothing to suck up any loose pollen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve followed this step, gently place a piece of sticky tape to the stain and pull off – by doing so, the majority of the pollen should attach to the tape.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can then wash the garment in the <\/span>washing machine<\/span> as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

For larger stains, rubbing alcohol and the blotting method can also be effective – however, it\u2019s important to remember to keep the windows open for good ventilation and to test the solution on a hidden area of the garment beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can you remove lily pollen from carpets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Needless to say, some of the hacks that work for clothes won\u2019t work for carpets.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there are a number of tips and tricks that you can try to remove the pesky pollen.<\/span><\/p>\n

One method is to use sticky-tape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply wrap the tape around your fingers sticky-side-out and lightly pat it on the pollen to remove as much of the powder as possible from the affected area.<\/span><\/p>\n

If that fails, or you want to try something with a little more power, you can run a <\/span>hoover<\/span> over it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you don\u2019t rub the pollen in, and try to strategically place the nozzle over the stain.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, Chai Simmons, a fan of <\/span>cleaning<\/span> guru <\/span>Mrs Hinch<\/span>, rushed to <\/span>social media<\/span> to ask for help after <\/span>discovering a lily stain on her brand-new carpet<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chai was quickly inundated with suggestions from other members of the online group, however, there was one tip that kept appearing – <\/span>WD40<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One person wrote: <\/span>"It happened to me a few months back. I was really nervous about trying oil on my carpet but nothing else had worked.<\/span><\/p>\n

"It worked really quickly and completely vanished."<\/span><\/p>\n

Another suggested using the penetrating oil by spraying it on and dabbing it with <\/span>kitchen roll<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that when it comes to your <\/span>flowers<\/span> – prevention is better than cure!<\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid getting pollen on your clothes or carpet – <\/span>cut off the pollen-carrying part of the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stamen, or anthers, is where the pollen is made and carried and if removed, the stain-causing dust goes with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful not to remove directly with your hands, as you can end up transferring the pollen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead wrap a piece of damp tissue around it and remove it that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it poisonous to cats?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aside from the unsightly stains the flowers can cause, your lovely lilies also pose another risk – they are extremely toxic and deadly to <\/span>cats<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Website vets4pets states that true lilies including Easter, Rubrum, Asiatic, Day, Stargazer, Japanese, and Tiger lilies are all poisonous to cats.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes their petals, leaves, pollen – and even water from <\/span>the vase<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Cats Protection: "Cats can be affected after eating parts of the plant or simply by brushing past the flower then grooming the pollen from the fur."<\/span><\/p>\n

If you think your cat may have come in contact with part of the flowers, it is advised to take them to the <\/span>vets<\/span> immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Signs of lily toxicity can occur within two hours of ingestion, and start with gastrointestinal signs such as <\/span>vomiting<\/span>, loss of appetite and drooling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cats that have eaten lily are quickly lethargic and may seem very unwell.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no home remedy for a cat exposed to lilies; they need medical treatment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
