Kids will be kids, and they don't care in the slightest if they get grass stains because they will not stop having fun long enough. Ah, to be a kid again!

Judith has a wonderful tip about grass and mud stains that is often overlooked -- pretreating and presoaking are easy stain removal methods, but often quite effective.

When the kids used to roll in dirt and down the damp lawn, the stains on their jeans and t-shirts were pretty bad. But pretreating and using the pre-soak and stain cycle on the washing machine really helped. Sometimes the time soaking can make a real difference.

(By the way, beware of soaking anything in bleach for more than a few minutes. It eats fabrics, as I found out one time when I forgot some linen napkins and found them in shreds the next morning!)
