Removing grass stains
Today’s sunshine brings my kids outdoors- how will I get out those grass stains?
Mix baking soda and vinegar into a paste, and gently work the paste in from the back side of the fabric. Let sit 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water, again from the back, repeat if necessary. Then wash as usual!

Sunlight
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mister Golden Sun. Please shine down on me ...........
Exposing your laundry to sunlight is the best natural method for bleaching and removing stains. I've personally removed red wine stains when I put my tablecloth out to dry in the sunshine! Give it a try! My daughter's cloth diapers are always whitest during clothesline months. Did you also know that you don't need full sun? A cloudy day can even be enough!
Happy Washing!
