Removing Fresh Grass Stains

If the grass stain is still fresh, you’re in luck. Start by carefully blotting spot with a dry cloth to soak up as much of moisture as possible. Next, mix some liquid dish soap with warm water and create a lather. Apply the mixture to the stain, being sure not to rub it into the fabric as this can cause the stain to go deeper and set in permanently. Blot the stain several times with a damp cloth, then let the area air-dry completely.

Removing Old Grass Stains

To remove old grass stains, you will need to use an enzyme-based laundry detergent. Begin by gently blotting away any excess moisture from the stain. Apply a small amount of the enzyme-based detergent directly to grass stain and work it into the fabric with a soft brush. Allow the area to sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Blot a few times with a damp cloth to remove any excess moisture and detergent, then let the area air-dry completely.

Using Other Home Remedies for Grass Stains

For tough grass stains that just won’t come out, there are other home remedies you can try. White vinegar is an excellent choice for removing tough grass stains, as it helps break down the stain and also has antibacterial properties. Simply pour a small amount directly on the stain and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes before blotting up any excess. Another effective remedy is to use a solution of 2 parts hydrogen peroxide and 1 part liquid dish detergent. Apply mixture to the grass stain and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes before blotting up any remaining liquid.

Conclusion

With the right steps and supplies, you can easily remove stubborn grass stains from your furniture. When using detergents or other home remedies, always be sure to test the solution on a hidden area of the fabric first to ensure that it won’t cause discoloration or damage.
