How to remove grass stains

Chlorophyll and plant pigment. Enzyme detergent plus time does most of the work.

Method

1. 1

   Brush dry soil

   Let any mud dry and brush it off before adding water.

2. 2

   Pre-treat

   Work enzyme detergent into the fibres and leave 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Wash

   Wash at the highest temperature the label allows.

4. 4

   Repeat if faint

   Repeat rather than escalating to bleach on coloured items.

What makes it worse

• Do not add water to wet mud before removing solids
• Do not use enzymes on wool or silk
