When you find a grass stain on your clothes, it is not recommended to rub the stained area with force. Such actions will spread the green mark and cause the dirt to penetrate deeper into the fibers.
First, you need to choose a product that is suitable for removing such stains and appropriate for the specific type of fabric. To ensure its effectiveness, test the product on a small, inconspicuous area on the inside of the garment by applying a small amount for 30 minutes. If the color remains vibrant and the fibers are undamaged, you can proceed with the cleaning process.
Fresh stains are easier to remove. To get rid of older grass stains, you may need to leave the cleaning agent on for several hours or repeat the procedure.
Cleaning Jeans To remove grass stains from jeans, use methods and products that will preserve the color and integrity of the fabric:
- Vinegar. First, check the effect of the product on the color of the garment. If the dye is unstable, the color may lighten. In such cases, it is better to use another method. If everything is fine, soak the stain with table or wine vinegar, wait 45 minutes, and then wash the item.
- Baking Soda. First, prepare a medium-thick paste by adding warm water to the baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stain and leave it for an hour. Occasionally moisten the stain to prevent drying. After the designated time, wash the item.
- Gasoline. If you have purified gasoline at home, you can use it to wipe away the grass marks. Then soak a cotton pad with glycerin and gently remove the remaining gasoline from the center outward. To eliminate the smell, dry the washed jeans outdoors.
Other methods to remove grass stains from jeans:
- Pour hydrogen peroxide over the stain and rinse with water after a minute.
- Use a cotton swab to apply rubbing alcohol directly to the stain, leaving it on the fabric for 30 minutes, then wash the item.
