HELP! How do you get rid of grass stains on your clothes?
'Shout' it out. Hasn't failed me yet.
Reply:Things You’ll Need:





Chlorine Bleach


RIT Dyes


Laundry Detergents


Vinegar


Bacteria/enzyme Cleaners


Baking Soda


Hydrogen Peroxides


Rubbing Alcohol


Kitchen Sponges








Washable Fabrics





Step1


Sponge washable fabric with water. Then sponge the stain with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Do not use alcohol on silk or wool. Dilute the alcohol a lot (three parts water to one part alcohol) for acetate.





Step2


Sponge with cool water, then work liquid detergent into the stained area. Rinse with water. Let dry.





Step3


If the stain remains, soak the fabric in a mixture of 1 qt. warm water and 1 tbsp. stain-removing enzyme product for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and re-launder in hot water, with a bleach that's safe for the fabric.





Step4


Bleach with hydrogen peroxide as a last resort.








Dry-Cleanable Fabrics





Step1


For best results, take the garment to the dry cleaners as soon as you can. Point out where the grass stains are.





Step2


If you need to remove the stain yourself, sponge with white vinegar, then water. If that doesn't do it, apply a paste of enzyme product ' but not to silk or wool. Leave on 30 minutes, then blot with a warm-water sponge.





Step3


Try applying a paste of baking soda and water to the stain. Work in a little white vinegar with a sponge. The bubbling of the chemical reaction may work to get the stain out.

Tips:





Use RIT whitener or another dye remover/stripper to bleach stains out and put those chemical brighteners back in. This process dyes a fabric white again.





Don't use alkalis such as ammonia, degreasers or alkaline detergents on grass stains. They interact with the grass and can permanently set the stain.





On some fabrics, a grass stain cannot be removed, not even by the dry cleaner.





Chlorine bleach may change the color of the garment or cause irreversible damage. Check for colorfastness before using. If the stain does not come out within 15 minutes of bleaching, it cannot be removed by bleaching.
Reply:spray a good amount of shout on it and let it set and then wash it in warm water. if it doesn't come out all the way Don't dry it. Lay it flat and pour lemon juice on it and let it set for about 30 min. or more and then re-wash it and that should do the trick. I have gotten all kinds of stains out of clothes just using lemon juice. Good luck!!
Reply:put dish soap on it, and then lightly scrub it together....wash right away, and before you dry it check the stain. IF its still there, put something like shout, or spray and wash on and then wash again. This usually always works for my boys who always seem to get grass stains.
Reply:I use a lot of Shout product. My son is forever getting stains on the knees of his jeans. Now I use Lever bar soap. I use a wet bar of soap and scrub the stain well before washing. This works for us.


Never dry a garment before the stain has been removed or it will set into the fabric from the heat of the dryer.





Good luck!
Reply:Cold water, a good bar soap, and elbow grease. I am the mother of a young man who played football. White pants! By hand is the only way with cold water so you do not set the stain.
