Grass stains combine protein and green pigment. Start with a cool enzyme soak, escalate only with tested fabric-safe products, and avoid heat until gone.
Blot grease, use an absorbent powder, pretreat with detergent or dish soap, wash at the hottest safe setting, and inspect before dryer heat.
Ink stains need solvent-matching: rubbing alcohol for many pen inks, cold water for water-based ink, dry-brush toner, and test fabric before heat.
Makeup stains need grease-first treatment: lift excess, loosen oily or waxy base, pretreat with detergent, rinse from back, air-dry before heat.
Yellow underarm stains usually involve antiperspirant and body soil. Treat before heat; use enzyme detergent or oxygen bleach only where labels allow.
