remove grass stains from any fabric

You will be able to get grass stains out of clothes, carpets, and upholstery!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    On carpets and upholstery, make a paste from equal parts salt and cream of tartar plus a few drops of water. Leave to dry, then brush off.

  2. Step 2

    Spot treat small stains with non-gel toothpaste or white vinegar. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

  3. Step 3

    For fabrics (ie jeans) soak in white vinegar. On some it will work instantly and others it will need to be soaked for up to 2 hours.
    For non-colourfast fabrics, dilute the vinegar 50/50 with warm water.

Tips & Warnings
  • DON'T use detergent to presoak grass stains- detergent will actually set them in!
