TACKLE UNIFORM STAINS LIKE A PRO Our Best Tips
It’s the season of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, but for parents everywhere, it’s also the season of grass, dirt, and sweat stains. If you have a little slugger — or know a family who spends every weekend each spring and summer at the ball diamond — this guide for uniform stain removal is a must-save!
DIRT’S WORST ENEMY
Dirt stains are a little different than grass stains. Where grass tends to “bleed” onto uniforms, small grains of sand can cling to clothing items. These particles can be highly degenerative for clothing, so it’s important to treat and clear these stains the right way. The secret to removing these safely is to use powdered detergent. The enzymes in liquid and powder soaps will scrub the dirt stain away, but powdered detergent does a better job because the granular nature of the product adds a mechanical element.
THANK YOU FOR THE HANGERS!
SPOT TREATMENT TIPS
Keep Going!
Grass stains are common for Little Leaguers, but when you simply wash uniforms without properly spot treating them, you embed these stains into the fabric. This can diminish the integrity of the uniform and deepen the stain. To prevent this, use a spoon, water, and detergent to spot treat grass stains. Mix water and a small amount of detergent in a bowl, and using the back of a spoon — not the sides of it — gently rub the mixture into the grass stain. If the area around the stain starts to bleed green, dab it with a paper towel. After this treatment, the uniform is ready for the washing machine.
