Hello
My children love to pick dandelions, but unfortunatley, the sap from the
stems leaves awful brown marks on their clothes. Any ideas how to remove
the sap stains?
TIA

Use a turf builder with weed control on your lawn to eliminate the
dandelions. Get some sunflower seeds and help the kids grow some impressive
flowers. This will make the lawn look better, get the kids interested in
gardening, and will be less work in the long run. Dandelions are all but
gone by this time of year where I live. For fresh stains, I would use a
laundry pre-treater that works on proteins and grass. You could also soak
them in an enzyme pre-treatment product like BIZ. Old stains may not come
out.

Soak in a vinegar solution, then use a brush.
