What You'll Need:
- Liquid detergent
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- An old toothbrush
- A clean cloth
Instructions:
- Before you start, it's important to make sure that your seersucker is colorfast. Soak a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric for about 10 minutes in a mixture of two parts cool water and one part liquid detergent. If the fabric starts to fade after the test, do not proceed.
- Make a cleaning solution by combining one cup of white vinegar and two tablespoons of baking soda. Mix it together until the baking soda is dissolved.
- Using an old toothbrush, apply the cleaning solution directly to the grass stain. Rub gently, but don't scrub too hard as it could damage fabric.
- Allow the cleaning solution to work its magic for a few minutes before rinsing the affected area with cold water.
- If the grass stain is still present after rinsing, repeat above steps. You may need to do this several times until the stain is gone.
- Once stain is gone, use a clean cloth to pat the area dry.
