Step 1: Sponge the Stain
The first thing you should do when a grass stain appears on your poncho is to take a damp cloth or sponge and gently rub the stained area to remove as much of the grass residue as possible. If you’re scrubbing hard, be sure to spot test first on an inconspicuous area of the fabric to make sure the cleaning method won’t damage the fabric.
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain with Detergent or Detergent Alternative
Once you’ve removed as much grass residue as possible, apply a pre-treatment such as laundry detergent (or a detergent alternative such as vinegar or baking soda) and rub it into the stain. Allow the pre-treatment to sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off in cold water.
Step 3: Wash the Pouch in Cold Water
To get rid of the stain, put your poncho in the washing machine on the coldest setting. Make sure to use only mild detergents that are safe for the fabric of your poncho. Once you’ve finished washing fabric, hang it up to air dry.
Additional Tips
- If the stain is still noticeable after washing your poncho, try treating the stain with a spot cleaner.
- Make sure to always read the care label on your poncho before cleaning it to ensure you’re using the appropriate cleaning methods.
- If possible, take your poncho to a professional cleaner as they may be able to remove the stain more effectively.
