Tips For Removing Grassy Stains On Garments
Stains are natural enemies of clothes. Ink and chocolate are usually death for most clothing. Since they are incredibly difficult to vanquish, it seems that grass stains are particularly hated. There are a few helpful tricks, though not completely foolproof, for removing the dreaded grassy stains.
For optimum results, you will need to act fast. Grass stains should be treated immediately to increase the chance of eliminating them. If you are far from home or at a location where the stain can't be dealt with right away, just remember to treat the stain as soon as you are.
Delicate garments need to be taken to the dry cleaners who are better equipped to handle those kinds of clothes. If the item is washable, soak it under water. The best way to accomplish this is to totally submerge it in your kitchen sink or large tub. Leave the garment soaking for about fifteen to twenty minutes for optimum results.
When it has been soaking for an enough time, dab the item with some rubbing alcohol. Be sure to thoroughly cover the whole grass stain, do not be afraid to use too much of it. If the item has a design or detailing close to the stained area, you can protect it with tape to ensure it won't get wet. After it has been completely sponged, let the clothing air dry on a flat surface.
Next sponge the stained area with a mixture of cold water and laundry detergent. The mixture should be four parts water to one part detergent. Again, make sure that you dab the entire stain. Run the clothing under cold water until the soapy mixture has been rinsed off and let it dry on a flat surface.
When the garment is dry, wash it as you usually would in the machine. Before you toss it in your dryer, check to see if the stain has lifted. If it is still there, soak the clothing in some hot water with vinegar. Allow it to soak for twenty minutes before machine washing it once more.
If when all of the previous mentioned steps don't work on the stain at all, you have one more option. Softly sponge the stained area with hydrogen peroxide until the whole thing is covered. Be sure to only use the liquid on the stain. The peroxide should only be applied as a last ditch effort because it can occasionally damage fabric.
If the garment has sentimental value and the stain wasn't vanquished by the hydrogen peroxide, you can try covering up or patching the area that is stained. Sometimes, on stains that are too big or tough, hiding them is the only option. You can cover the stained area with a fabric patch. Denim jeans can be easily fixed this way but patches may work on tee shirts too. Although many types of stains are usually a clothes killer, you can sometimes stand a chance at saving your clothes if you act fast and treat the stain accurately.
