Grass stains can linger on calico fabric, no matter how hard you scrub. But don't despair—there are a few methods that can help remove grass stains with minimal effort. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A clean cloth
- Mild soap and water
- White vinegar
- Washing powder
Step 1: Blot Stain
Start by taking a clean cloth and blotting the stain with some mild soap and water. This helps remove any excess grass stains and minimizes area affected. Keep blotting until you don’t observe any more staining.
Step 2: Apply White Vinegar
After you’ve blotted the stain, apply a small amount of white vinegar to the affected area. You can use a clean cloth to apply the vinegar. Make sure to cover the entire stained area.
Step 3: Soak in Hot Water
Next, fill a bowl with some hot water and add a couple of tablespoons of washing powder. Place the fabric in the solution and allow it to soak for 30 minutes. This will help break down the grass stains and make them easier to remove.
Step 4: Wash in Washing Machine
After soaking, put the fabric in the washing machine on a regular cycle using the hottest water setting. If grass stains are still present after washing, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Step 5: Air Dry
Finally, air dry the fabric after washing. This will help set the fabric back to its original softness and finish. Avoid using a dryer as this can cause the grass stains to become permanent.
Following these steps can help you get rid of pesky grass stains from calico fabrics quickly and easily. With a bit of patience, you can restore your fabric to its original pre-stain beauty!
