you mean actual GRASS clippings, right? not grass stains...
so my only suggestion is STOP letting him into the grass with socks on - toss the ones he's ruined or possibly throw them in dryer alone - on HOT so the grass dries and falls off... GOOD LUCK with either
That is weird that the actual clippings would stay! I agree with Susan. A hot dryer should do it.
you mean clippings?? not just stains??
keep him out of it! HA
if it's just one pair of socks - toss em. OR...
you could try putting them in the DRYER on HOT - alone - no other clothes...and the grass should dry up and you'll find it in your filter.
He does lawncare - yes, it is the clippings. I have tried everything! I shake them out while they are still dirty/dry, I soak them in Dawn and heavy duty cleaner with boiling water, I run them through the dryer alone - on high heat. Still they are covered with bits of grass. It is too expensive to just keep buying new socks.
It has always worked for me for almost 50 years. It's especially for white cotton. Sometimes if your items are really stained you may need to repeat the process.
Heloise was the greatest!

Grass clippings on dark nylon socks how to remove
Have him wear thinner socks. They come out a little easier than thicker socks. Then after washing and drying use a fabric lint fuzz pill remover. Those battery powered ones. I’ve been doing that on my hubby’s socks and it’s been working great.
Use tape it works.
To remove grass clippings from a sock, you can try the following steps:
I hope this helps!
As you say they are moisture control socks, try drying them out! or ask Dickies!
