4 effective ways to remove grass stains from jeans
With the arrival of nicer weather and an increase in outdoor events, grass stains on clothes becomes commonplace. These grass stains can be very difficult to remove and can become the bane of (especially) young kids parents' lives!
That said, there are ways to easily remove grass stains - specifically from denims/jeans - using commonly-found, household products.
1 - Marseille soap
The first way to remove grass stains from, for example, jeans, is to use Marseille soap which is rubbed directly on the stain (along with some water).
You can rub the stain with your hands or use the rough side a sponge.
Then leave the soap to act for half an hour (or however long it takes to dry out). Then, wash as normal in the washing machine.
2 - Alcohol
70 proof alcohol can also be used to remove grass stains from jeans. Specifically, you can use alcohol if the previous method (using Marseille soap) did not work.
Dilute the alcohol with water and apply this mixture to the stained area using a sponge; then rinse everything off with clean water.
If this remedy doesn't work either, you could also try using a commercial stain remover.
3 - Lemons

Another alternative - in this case, a decidedly more eco-friendly one - is the to use lemon juice or vinegar.
Wet a rag with water and lemon juice or vinegar and rub it directly on the stained area of the jeans.
For grass stains that are difficult to remove, you could also pour vinegar or lemon directly onto the stain and leave it to act for about ten minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
4 - Toothpaste
Another practical remedy to remove grass stains from jeans is to use toothpaste.
In fact, toothpaste works great on various types of stains: just put a little directly on the area to be treated and scrub vigorously with a toothbrush. Finish off by washing the garment as per normal in the washing machine.
Thanks to the above methods, grass stains on jeans will become a thing of the past. Remember, however, to always test a small corner of the fabric/garment you want to treat before committing to a full treatment using a particular product.
