Stains
How to remove grass stains
Grass is chlorophyll plus dirt. Enzyme soap or dish soap lifts the dye, then a normal wash. Brush with the fabric grain, not against it.

GrassCotton
Grass Stain on Cotton — How to Get It Out
Grass stains on cotton come out best when you treat them with enzyme soap and cold water before washing. The green chlorophyll and plant proteins in grass bind tightly to cotton fibers, but enzymes break down the proteins while gentle scrubbing lifts the pigment. Cotton is durable enough to tolerate brushing and repeated treatment, so even set-in stains usually respond well if you work patiently.
GrassDenim
Grass Stain on Denim — How to Get It Out
Grass stains on denim respond well to enzyme stain soap and cold water, because the chlorophyll and plant proteins break down under enzyme action. Denim's sturdy weave can take vigorous scrubbing, so you can treat grass aggressively without worrying about damage. Work quickly on fresh stains, but even dried grass marks usually lift with a little persistence.
GrassLinen
Grass Stain on Linen — How to Get It Out
Grass stains on linen come out with cold water and enzyme soap, and linen's sturdy fibers let you scrub harder than most fabrics. Fresh stains lift in minutes; set-in stains need a soak. Linen tolerates vigorous treatment, but skip the dryer until the green is completely gone.
GrassPolyester
Grass Stain on Polyester — How to Get It Out
Grass stains on polyester come out easily because the synthetic fibers don't absorb chlorophyll the way natural fabrics do. A quick pretreatment with dish soap and white vinegar, followed by a hot wash, will lift the green without any special products.
GrassWool
Grass Stain on Wool — How to Get It Out
Grass stains on wool come out with cold water and enzyme stain soap, but you must work gently to avoid felting the fibers. Chlorophyll from grass is a stubborn pigment that binds to protein fibers like wool, so patience and the right technique matter more than scrubbing hard.
