How do I remove grass stains with baking soda?
In a pinch, baking soda acts as a natural cleaner and a mild abrasive. It’s safe to use on most fabrics, but it can be too abrasive for more delicate fabrics like silk or wool.
- Combine enough baking soda with water to form a thick paste.
- Cover the grass stain with the baking soda paste evenly.
- Gently rub the paste into the fabric using your fingers or a soft brush, like a toothbrush.
- Allow the paste to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rinse the item thoroughly with cold water to remove the baking soda paste, then wash the item in your washing machine as usual.

How do I remove grass stains with rubbing alcohol?

Stain removal watch-outs: What to avoid
Before you start scrubbing, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Don’t wait. The longer the stain sits, the harder it is to lift.
- Always test first. When in doubt, spot-test any solution on an inconspicuous area.
- Stick to warm water. Heat can set a grass stain permanently if it hasn’t been fully removed.
- Be cautious with delicate fabrics. Silk, wool, and some synthetics may react poorly to abrasive solutions or alcohol-based treatments.
