Getting Started

To begin, you’ll need the following items:

White vinegar
Liquid dish soap
A few drops of essential oil (optional)
A scrub brush or toothbrush
A stain remover such as OxiClean
An old rag

Step 1: Create a Cleaning Solution

Mix equal parts white vinegar and liquid dish soap in a bowl. For an added bonus, add a few drops of essential oil to your mixture for a fresh scent. Stir this combination together until you see sudsy bubbles.

Step 2: Soak the Stain

Take a small bowl and fill it with enough of the cleaning solution to cover the stained area. Allow your tracksuit to soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain

After soaking, scrub stain gently with a scrub brush or toothbrush. Be sure not to use too much force as scrubbing too hard could cause damage to the fabric.

Step 4: Rinse and Repeat

Rinse the fabric with warm water afterward. If the stain is still present, try repeating the process again. Keep repeating the process until all traces of stain have gone.

Step 5: Apply a Stain Remover

If all else fails, apply a stain remover such as OxiClean to the problematic area and keep it to soak for a few hours. Follow the instructions and rinse afterward.

Step 6: Air Dry

Finally, let your tracksuit air dry. Do not put it in the dryer as the heat could set in any remaining stains.

Conclusion

Grass stains on your tracksuit don’t have to put a damper on your day. By following the steps above, you can easily remove any and all grass stains without the need for special products.
