The easiest way to remove lily pollen

So you love lilies but hate the pollen and the yellow stains! What can you do?

Firstly – stop! Don’t rub it! Don’t wet it!

We have found the best way to remove lily pollen is to get a piece of sticky-tape and dab it gently picking up the pollen. Not rubbing, just lightly dab and lift. We have had success using this method, not only on clothing, but also on the flower itself, if very gentle.

Remember lily pollen is almost like a paint pigment – add water and it will colour whatever it’s on. Rub and it will stain.

But by far the easiest and best way to avoid getting stains is to remove the lily stamen before it drops the pollen.

Hope this helps!
