To remove grass stains on clothing, rub the stain with alcohol and wash immediately.

Rust stains on clothing can be removed by rubbing a fresh cut lemon onto a damp cloth and then rubbing this on the rust stains. Sprinkle table salt on the stain and set it out in the sun. When dry, repeat this entire process until the stain is gone.
