Pre-Treating the Stain

The first thing you'll want to do is pre-treat the stain before washing the capris. You can buy a commercial pre-stain remover, or you can make your own with a few household ingredients. Mix together one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of warm water. Put the mixture in a spray bottle, and spray the stain generously before washing.

Washing the Capris

Once the stain has been pre-treated, it's time to put the capris in the wash. For best results, use a high-efficiency (HE) detergent, as it is designed to work best with cold water. Put the capris in the washer, add the detergent, and choose a cold water cycle. Avoid using hot water, as this can set the stain, making it even harder to remove.

Checking the Results

After the cycle is complete, check the capris to see if stain has been removed. If it's still there, you may need to repeat treatment. Put the capris back in the washer, and use same settings as before. This time, add an oxygen-based bleach, such as OxiClean, to help break down the stain.

Drying the Capris

Once the stain has been removed, you can dry the capris. Again, using the hottest setting is not advised, as it can cause the stain to set in. Instead, opt for a warm or cool setting, and check the capris periodically to make sure they are not overdrying.

Additional Tips

In addition to pre-treating, washing and drying the capris, other tips to keep in mind include:

Always read the care instructions on the clothing tag before washing.
Be sure to use an enzyme-based laundry detergent, as this will help break down the stain.
If the grass stain is still present after washing, try spot-treating with hydrogen peroxide and letting it sit for a few minutes before washing again.
To avoid grass stains in the future, be sure to wear waterproof shoes or boots when outdoors.

Conclusion

Removing grass stains from your capris doesn't have to be a difficult task. By pre-treating, washing and drying correctly, you should be able to get your capris looking like new in no time.
