Jeans are casual, comfortable, durable, and can stand the test of time. Since they are typically made of cotton, they can make you feel sweaty in hot temperatures and chilly when it gets cold and wet, making them ideal garments for outdoor activities, especially in parks, sports fields, gardens, playgrounds, and picnic areas.

While these locations are perfect for outdoor activities, they also increase the likelihood of getting grass stains on your jeans. And these stubborn green marks can seem impossible to remove, often becoming a frustrating issue.

But there's no need to worry about a few green spots on your favorite jeans if you have a bit of patience, the right cleaning technique, and an effective stain remover like Vanish.

So continue reading this article as we explain in detail how to remove grass stains from jeans and keep them as good as new. 

First, submerge your stained jeans in a tub of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This will help loosen the pigments from the fibers and remove any excess dirt and grass.

After that, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder, which contains the Oxi Advance formula, to remove grass stains from the jeans while preserving their signature color’s brightness.

There are three methods for utilizing Vanish products to eliminate stains: Pre-treat, Soaking, and adding directly to the Wash. 

Although pre-treatment and soaking are typically reserved for tough stains, the in-wash method is the simplest and can be combined with pre-treat or soaking.

Option 1: Pre Treat

1. Add ¼ scoop (15g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in the water (MAX 40°C)

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Apply the mixture directly to the grass stain, rub it gently, and let it sit for 10 minutes (do not allow Vanish to dry on the jeans). 

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 2: Soak

1. Add 1 scoop (60g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in 4L of water.

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Soak the jeans in the solution for 1h max, and for whites, it's 4h max.

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 3: Wash

Add Vanish Oxi Action Powder to your machine on top of your laundry detergent. Below are the recommended stain remover dosages:

• ½  scoop (30g) for normal stains.

• 1 scoop (60g) for tough & dried stains.

Can I use dish soap to remove grass stains from jeans?

Using dish soap to remove grass stains from jeans is not recommended because it is less effective than a reliable stain remover like Vanish. Additionally, dish soap can leave a residue on the fabric that is difficult to remove.

Do I use hot water or cold water to remove grass stains from jeans?

Always use cold water for removing grass or any type of stain, as hot water can cause the stain to harden and set, making it more difficult to remove. 

How long should I soak jeans in cold water to loosen grass stains?

You should soak the jeans in cold water for at least 30 minutes to loosen the grass pigments from the fibers.
