How to Clean Grass Stains in Clothing and Shoes

The inevitable grass stain. No one can go an entire summer without at least one grass stain on their clothing or shoes. Especially if you have children at home, then you can't go an entire week without a grass stain! Although grass stains can be very difficult to clean, the good news is that grass stains can be removed using Quick 'n Brite.

If you find yourself or your children's laundry covered with grass stains the best thing to do is pre-treat them before they go through the washer and dryer. Although Quick 'n Brite will still remove a grass stain if it is set in (gone through the washer and dryer,) it is a much easier stain to remove if you catch it before the wash cycle.

Step 1: Wet the material down first with hot water. Grass stains are considered a "dye" stain, so hot water is best.

Step 2: Apply Quick 'n Brite paste full strength directly onto the grass stained area then fold the material trapping the stained area and cleaner in between the pieces of fabric. Rub the fabric together briskly to work the cleaner into the stain.

Step 3: About 90% or more of the stain should be removed after Step 2. If not, let the material sit for 10 minutes, apply more Quick 'n Brite, than rub the fabric together briskly again.

Step 4: If stain is 90% or more removed proceed to Step 5, if not, mix 2 tablespoons of Quick 'n Brite Liquid or Paste to 1 quart of HOT water and let material soak in solution overnight.

Step 5: If material is machine washable, run the clothing through the washing machine as you normally would. Check to make sure stain is fully removed before drying fabric. If the stain is not completely removed, repeat Step 4 before rewashing fabric.
