Removing grass stains is simple once you know how, but there are some essential steps you need to consider no matter where you’ve got the stain. Always start by soaking your clothing in cold water. Don’t use hot water. It’s a common misconception that hot water is better at getting dirt marks out. However, this only applies to oily or greasy stains and would have the opposite effect on non-fatty stains. Test your chosen cleaning product or method on a small inconspicuous area of the garment first. We recommend testing it on a site such as a sleeve or a leg and always following the advice on the care label. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
