Mrs Hinch fans share the best tricks to remove grass stains from white clothes – and a £4 Sainsbury’s product is the key
GRASS stains are one of the hardest to get rid of, especially if they’re on white clothes.
That’s why one mum asked fans of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch for their best tips and trick to banish them, since her son got them all over his new football kit.
Posting in the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It, the mum asked for help.
She said: “My son had his new white t-shirt on yesterday and another child pulled him across the grass. How can I get these stains out?”
It turns out many keen cleaners loved the same hack, and insisted it would work like a charm.
One mum said she uses Vanish vanish gold to get rid of stains, she explained: “I have messy twin toddlers and two older children that get stains on their clothes all the bloody time.
“Once a month I fill the bath tub with hot water and add a whole tub of vanish gold and a full bottle of thick bleach, stir it well and dump all stained clothes in there and leave them for at least 24 hours, then take them all out and wash on a 60° cycle.
“The results are amazing!! The water is left filthy but the clothes return to looking as fresh as when I brought them.”
It turns out she wasn’t the only one who swears by the product, another said: “Vanish, soak it for six hours I got all my sons works stuff cleaned from deodorants and other stuff that discoloured them wouldn’t use anything else.”
You can buy tub of Vanish Gold Oxi Action for just £4 in Sainsbury’s , it’s also priced at £6 in Robert Dyas.
Meanwhile, other cleaning fans suggesting using Elbow Grease to banish the stains.
“Spray with elbow grease and soak in sink with boiling water then wash as normal in machine,” one wrote.
“Elbow grease sprayed on before washing. Works a treat,” another said.
“I always use Elbow Grease on this sort of thing, hasn’t let me down yet,” someone else raved.
And some even suggested rubbing in a bit of washing up liquid before washing as normal.
“It’s just a bit of mud, washing up liquid will work,” one said.
