What is the Best Way to Remove Grass Stains from Clothes?

Topics:

The process for removing grass stains varies from one material to the next. For typical cotton and synthetic-fiber garments, a direct application of liquid laundry detergent followed by a regular wash cycle is an effective approach. Always check the label to minimize the chances of fading or damage.

1.Removing Grass Stains: Step-by-Step Instructions

For washing machine safe-clothes:

 

  • Apply a small amount of ARM & HAMMER Plus OxiClean™ liquid laundry detergent to a hidden area of the garment to check for fading. ARM & HAMMER Plus OxiClean™ detergents include stain removal enzymes formulated to power out tough stains and odors, so they are ideal for hard-to-remove stains such as grass and dirt.
  • Use a soft brush to gently rub liquid detergent directly into the grass stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Run your garment through a normal wash cycle.

2.Tips for Effective Grass Stain Removal

While every stain will respond differently to stain treatments, here are some recommendations that will give you a better chance of successful grass stain removal:

 

  • Act quickly! As with any type of stain, if you can treat a grass stain before it has a chance to dry, your likelihood of removing it will improve.
  • Cold water is preferable for removing grass stains, as hot water can cause the stain to harden and set, making it more difficult to remove.
  • When applying pre-treatment with liquid laundry detergent, avoid scrubbing the grass stain too harshly to avoid fading or stretching the fabric. A soft brush such as a toothbrush is a good choice.
  • Use a laundry detergent that contains stain fighting additives like ARM & HAMMER Plus OxiClean™.
  • Add a stain-fighting laundry booster to improve your detergent’s cleaning power.
