A. It is similar in concept to spilling fruit juice on a white cotton fabric. The dye molecules are trapped in the fibers and can not be removed easily by using only cold water. Sometimes even with warm water and soap the stain will not come out.

A. The concept is similar to what happens if you spill fruit juice on white cotton fabrics such as a T-shirt. The dye molecules get trapped in the cotton fibers and cannot be removed easily using only a gentle stream of cold water. Sometimes warm water and soap will not even remove the stain.
