What You Need

Laundry detergent
Cleaning cloth or old toothbrush
Baking soda (optional)
Hydrogen peroxide (optional)

Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain

Before you start actual stain removal process, it's important to pre-treat the stain before throwing it into the washing machine. This helps to loosen and remove the dirt from fabric fibers.

Mix together some laundry detergent with water and stir until it forms a paste. Using a cleaning cloth or an old toothbrush, gently rub the stain using the paste. Be sure not to rub too harshly so you don't damage fabric.

Step 2: Rinse

After pre-treating the stain, rinse the garment in cold water to remove paste. This will help to remove the last traces of the grass stains.

Step 3: Launder

Now that the stain is pre-treated and rinsed, it's time to throw the hoodie into the washing machine. Wash it in cold water, check the care instructions on the fabric's label to make sure it's safe for the machine.

If the stain is still present after the laundry cycle has finished, you can try repeating the pre-treating process.

Step 4: Treating Stubborn Stains (optional)

If the stain is still stubborn, you can try using some baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with two cups of cold water, or mix one part of hydrogen peroxide with one part of cold water.

Using a cleaning cloth or toothbrush, apply the mixture onto the stain and let it sit for around 10 minutes. After that, rinse the area with cold water again.

Step 5: Dry

After pre-treating, laundering, and treating the stain, it's important to make sure that it's completely dry before storing away your hoodie. Place it over a clotheshorse or a drying rack and let it air dry. Make sure not to use the tumble-dryer, as this can set the stain.

Conclusion

Grass stains are pesky, but with the right techniques, cleaning products, and a bit of patience they can be easily removed from fabric of your favourite hoodie. Just remember these five easy steps and you’ll be able to keep your hoodie looking like new.
