Method 1: Try a Stain Remover

If you happen to have an all purpose stain remover on hand, this may be your best bet for removing grass stains from cargo pants. The directions vary depending on the product, but generally you should pre-treat the stain with the remover before laundering the pants as usual. Test a small, hidden area of your pants before using the stain remover on a larger area.

Method 2: Use Dish Soap and White Vinegar

Dish soap and white vinegar are great tools for combating grass stains. First, dab the stain with a damp cloth to moisten it. Then mix a solution of equal parts dish soap and white vinegar and rub it into the stain. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with cool water. Launder the pants as usual after treating with solution.

Method 3: Spot Clean with Rubbing Alcohol

Another method for removing grass stains from cargo pants is to spot clean the stain with rubbing alcohol. Dampen the stain with some water and then lightly dab the stain with the rubbing alcohol. Be careful not to rub it in too aggressively, as that could actually worsen the stain. Let the rubbing alcohol sit for 5 minutes and then launder the pants as usual.

Conclusion

With right strategies, removing grass stains from cargo pants doesn't have to be a daunting task. Just make sure to read the instructions on any stain removers that you may use, and check a small area of the fabric before applying any cleaning solutions. When all else fails, spot cleaning with rubbing alcohol may be your best option.
