Soda
It is easiest to clean a fresh grass stain. After planting herbal juice on your jeans, generously spray the dirt with sparkling water. White, tasteless soda is suitable for these purposes.

Using a clean rag or handkerchief, rub in the alcohol, moving from the outer edge to the center in a circle. The spray will help wash fresh greens.
Sour helpers
Lemon juice or citric acid can also help remove green grass marks.

Laundry soap is the best stain remover
Unfairly forgotten laundry soap, which can be purchased at a very affordable price, will do an excellent job even of such complex stains as green grass stains. The main thing is to know how to use it correctly.
Soak your jeans in hot water for a few minutes. Afterwards, thoroughly treat them with laundry soap. In case of heavy dirt, you can use a brush.

Grate ¼ of the block on a medium grater and add a small amount of water. When the soap swells, rub it with a whisk and fork. Add 10-15 drops of ammonia. Apply thickly to the green spot. Leave for an hour and wash.
Glycerin + egg white

remove grass stains with special means
- You can’t just take any detergent and start scrubbing away the dirt. If it doesn’t fit, the grass will eat into it even more and won’t wash off anymore. Getting rid of old stains is easy and won’t happen quickly. The product acts on them for two to three hours, sometimes all day. Do not wash with cold water or rub with napkins - wet or dry. The area and persistence of pollution will increase. Before choosing a cleaning method, conduct a test on an inconspicuous area of the material. The product should not spoil it. Greens should not be soaked. Chlorine in tap water contributes to the formation of stubborn stains. If you didn’t manage to solve the problem the first time, don’t despair. You need to repeat the action or use another remedy. Treat the problem area from the edges to the middle. This will not increase the affected area and will save you from stains.

What you need to know when treating grass-stained fabric
It is already clear that we are dealing with pliable fabric and persistent contamination. Now we need to identify risk factors.
- The grass can be washed off only if you act immediately, before the pigment is eaten away. If time is wasted, the green mark will be washed out along with the dye on the denim. And this already suggests that the thing will probably be damaged.
- The situation can be made worse by wiping the contaminated area with a rag. Dry or wet - it makes no difference. The friction process itself will ensure such reliable penetration of the pigment that there will be no chance of getting rid of it; in addition, the lesion will greatly increase in size.
- Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove grass stains by washing in cold water. This will make the dye stronger. Warm soaking only.
