Adults and kids both
may get these stains while playing sports. You will be stuck with the time
consuming job of cleaning the grass stains if you don’t take care of them
immediately after they have appeared on the clothes. We have found the best
methods for you so you don’t have to waste extra time on them later when they
have set in. You
can adopt any one of the following methods to remove grass stains from white
clothes.
Method 1 (Vinegar Solution)
Vinegar solution is for those stains
that have appeared recently on the clothes. Remember that this method is for a
pre-wash treatment. It will make sure that the stains go away before you
actually do the laundry because usually doing laundry directly will not clean
the stains. The items required are very easily available and so it won’t be
very hard to clean the grass stains from white clothes.
Things that you will require:
·
Sponge
·
Cold
and warm Water
·
Empty
bowl
·
Vinegar
(fruit based)
Steps:
1.
Mix
one part vinegar and half part water in the empty bowl.
2.
Soak
the sponge in the vinegar solution and apply onto the grass stains on white
clothes. Let the stains soak for about an hour. This will lighten the stains.
Rub the stains with hand.
3.
Once
the stain removal is successful, wash out the vinegar solution with cold water.
Put the clothes in the laundry now so that any leftover stains can be removed.

alcohol

few times.

during this time.

Solution)

times the amount of each ingredient of water.
