What will remove green grass stains from white tennis shoes?

Answer 1

I am not quite sure but try oxy clean, I have used it on red wine stains. Also you can try some of the tide to go sticks, the sticks are really good to have on the go, plus it's best to put something on the stain right when you get it. If your shoes are machine washable, wash them in detergent and bleach. Oh yeah a bleach pen works wonders as well. Try them all one of them is bound to work.

Answer 2

If your Tennis shoes are made of Cambish (cotton) the wash those with soap and rub those with White Shoe-Chalk or Cake while those are still wet. Then dry those in Sun. Green or any stain will be gone.
If those are made from hide then coat shoes with White Liquid Polish and stain will go.
Both the Cake and Liquid polish are available from local shoe store or from Bata Stores.

Summary: Removal tips for grass stains and washing instructions for canvas shoes, golf shoes, and sneakers are provided here.
Details or Sample: Inevitably, if you wear white shoes, then you are going to find a splash, streak, or blob of bright green on them some day. No matter how hard you try to avoid grass, some things are just unavoidable. Green grass stains are just one of those things.

After all, let’s face it, how many times have you had to run after an errant toddler or pet across the freshly mowed lawn, only to look down and find the telltale signs of green. Fortunately, for you, you may be able to remove grass stains from your golf shoes, tennis shoes, or canvas sneakers provided that you do no wait too long.

First, make a solution of 4 ounces water, one tablespoon of ammonia, and a dash of dishwashing liquid detergent for shoes made from canvas or nylon. For shoes made with leather uppers, make a solution of 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup water, and a dash of dishwashing liquid detergent. Dip a soft bristled brush, such as a toothbrush, into the cleaning solution and gently brush the stains with it. Next, wash the shoes thoroughly.

To wash your shoes, check the labels for instructions. If not are available, then you can use the instructions provided here to wash your shoes. Use these instructions only for shoes that have canvas, nylon, or leather uppers.

Set up an area to work near a supply of warm running water such as a laundry rub, bathtub, or sink. Spread newspaper or paper bags over the area. Partially fill a bucket with warm water. Prepare the shoe by removing the shoelaces and the insoles. The shoelaces can be placed in a mesh bag and then included in a load of whites.

Next, dip one of the shoes in the water only long enough to wet it. Do not allow it to soak. Place the shoe on the newspaper or bags. Use a clean nylon scrubbing sponge and a bit of dishwashing liquid to scrub the shoe’s entire surface area. Scrub the inside as well as the outside. If necessary, use a small brush such as a toothbrush to scrub stubborn stains. Repeat these steps for the second shoe.

Now it is time to deal with the insoles. Use the nylon scrubbing sponge to scrub them with the soapy solution. Take the insoles and dip them in and out of the water until most of the residue has been removed from them. Rinse them with clean running water. Lukewarm water is good to use for this. Repeat these steps with both of the shoes.

Now it is time to air dry the shoes. First, you must stuff the shoes to capacity with clean, plain white paper towels. Not only will this help them to dry, but also, it will help them to retain their shape. Make sure that the paper towels are completely white with no colored symbols or words on them. It would be silly to acquire ink transfer on your shoes while removing grass stains.

Place the shoes in an area that will allow them to air dry naturally. This means away from heat and sunlight. Ideally, select a spot outdoors where you won’t have to concern yourself with leaves or other debris. Once the shoes are dry, you can apply the appropriate type of shoe polish if desired. Replace the inner soles and the shoelaces. Put your shoes in their regular storage space.

If the stain is still visible after you have washed the shoes, you can try using a commercial grass stain remover. Additionally, you can use a clean brush dipped in a solution of a few drops of household ammonia and one teaspoon of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Rinse the area clean with clean water. Never use ammonia with bleach as this produces toxic fumes.

Answer 4

Use the oxiclean spray and that will get the grass stains out. You could also try toothpaste (not the gel) with a small brush and try to scrub the stains out!

Answer 5

I use the dishwasher soap. The gel, not the powder and an old toothbrush. This also gets bad smells out of the insides of the shoes and then I rinse well and throw them in the dryer. Makes shoes look like brand new.
