Do you wish for your child to remain
active and healthy? The key to ensuring that your child remains energetic and
in good shape is to encourage him or her to play sports. Seeing your child
happy and full of life is fun; however, having them return home with green
grass stains on their pants is not a joy. Grass stains are also known as dye
stains, and hence, qualify as one of the most difficult stains to remove. Along
with a few household items, removing grass stains from pants requires one more
ingredient: patience! Before you start cleaning the grass stains, from your
pants here are a few things that you should know:
·
Test
any cleaning solution that you plan on using on an inconspicuous area of the
pants. Apply a little on a small spot, leave it in place for 2-3 minutes, and
then remove it. If the solution damages the material in any way, do not proceed
with it. Different materials react to the same solution in different ways.
Hence, there is no universal solution that may be used on all materials.
·
Start
cleaning the stain as soon as possible. The longer you leave it, the deeper it
will seep into the fabric, and the harder it will become to remove it.
·
Always
flush the stain with cold water from the back side of the fabric. This will
help you get rid of any dirt that came along with the grass.
·
During
the cleaning process, rub the fabric gently. Otherwise, the fabric is likely to
get damaged.
·
Make
sure that the entire stain has been removed before drying it. Drying the pants
while the stain still remains can make it permanent.
