The Basics
Grass stains are particularly challenging because they are made up of oil and organic matter, both of which require special attention when it comes to cleaning. But don’t worry! It is still possible to get them out.
The first step is to isolate stain by scraping off any excess grass or dirt that is stuck to the fabric. Then pre-treat the stain with a laundry pre-treatment product.
Soaking
Once you have pre-treated the area, it is time to soak the stained garment for about 30 minutes in warm water with a laundry detergent. After that, swish the garment around a bit in the water and then let it sit for another 15 minutes or so.
Washing the Garment
After soaking, you will want to machine wash the garment on hottest setting that is safe for the fabric. For most materials, this means a warm or cold cycle. Be sure to use a detergent that is designed specifically for grass stains, such as a grease-fighting formula.
Once the cycle is complete, double check the area to make sure stain has been removed. If the stain is still visible, repeat the entire process before drying.
Conclusion
Removing grass stains doesn't have to be a daunting task. With a bit of patience and right products, you can reclaim your favorite garment in no time at all.
