Step One: Pre-Treat Stain
Begin by dampening the stained area with lukewarm water and then apply a small amount of liquid detergent (or a stain remover) directly onto the stain. Gently rub the detergent into the fabric using a soft brush or cloth, being careful not to spread the stain. Let the area sit for about 10 minutes before proceeding to step two.
Step Two: Rinse with Cold Water
Once the pre-treating solution has had time to work, rinse area with cold water until the detergent is completely gone. For heavily soiled areas, you may choose to soak the garment in cold water before rinsing.
Step Three: Apply Vinegar
Once the area is rinsed, apply a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts cold water directly onto the stain. Allow the vinegar to sit on the fabric for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step. The acidity of the vinegar helps break down and dissolve the grass stains.
Step Four: Launder as Normal
Once the vinegar solution has been applied, simply launder the garment as usual in cold or lukewarm water. Make sure to check the garment after laundering for any remaining stains, and repeat the steps above if necessary.
