Grass stains can easily be removed from washable clothes by using a little bit of Golden Syrup (in the USA it is available only from selected supermarkets, gourmet food shops and catalogs - or on-line).
Dip the tip of your finger in some Golden Syrup and gently rub it on the stain. You will then witness a small 'miracle' as the stain dissolves into the syrup. It is then a simple task to wash the item as you would do normally.
By the way, if you can't find Golden Syrup, don't be tempted to substitute cane or maple syrup as I am informed that they can produce their own stains.
I haven't tried using honey but it might be a good alternative.
I haven't tried this on Dry-clean-only clothes but I think it should work just fine!

∙ 14y ago- Allow your dog access to plenty of water throughout the day - and then -
- Allow your dog frequent opportunities to relieve themselves. The longer your dog "holds it" the more concentrated the urine will be and the greater the chance the spot chosen will suffer damage.
Consider creating a specific "pee-patch" area for your dog. Almost every yard has a seldom used area (too shady, narrow area between house and fence etc, odd shape for other use, etc).
Prepare the site:- Depending on your landscape design style, cordon off the area with inexpensive planters, storage benches or pre-made low Fencing. A storage bench is great because you can keep your doggy "clean up" tools in there, out of sight.
- Consider purchasing a "pee post" from your pet supply store. This is a post which has been infused with a chemical that says to dogs "this is the place to pee!".
- Be sure there is nothing "scary" or harmful about the site like high noise from equipment, sharp rocks, glass or nails. This area should provide a safe, pleasant experience for your dog.
- Allow Fido to explore the area and be comfortable with the change to "his" yard before you start training.
- Wait until Fido truly "needs" to go out. You don't want to wait too long…but you do want to be sure Fido is totally focused on doing "biz" and nothing else.
- Snap on a leash and hustle Fido out to the new pee-patch. Depending on your dog, you will have to be firm and use patience - no matter how much Fido may want to go over to another area, don't allow it! Fido should need to go just enough that you shouldn't have to wait long for "biz" to be completed.
- Now - the BEST part - praise the heck out of Fido! Let your dog know with the happiest voice possible that he has done a good thing! Depending on what "turns your dog on", offer a small treat or toy that only happens as a reward at the pee-patch.
- Be consistent in your training - everyone in the household needs to follow the program.
- Different dogs learn at different rates so patience may be necessary. Generally speaking, within 1-2 weeks, your leashed dog should be heading to the pee-patch automatically. When this happens, stop using the leash while still accompanying Fido to the pee-patch. Continue to praise, but gradually withdraw the reward, offering it only randomly just to remind your dog that "pee-patch equals good things".
Yes, your dog may occasionally lapse if you waited too long to let him out, there is a high distraction (20 people came over for a picnic!), there have been other changes to the area (you remodeled and added a deck) or if the dog has experienced a major health issue. If so, don't shout or use physically punishment! A single, sharp "No!" should be enough to let Fido know he's goofed. Needless to say, there is simply no praise, treat or toy. Quietly take Fido back in the house and then go back to the leash until Fido is back on track.
All dogs occasionally need retraining regardless of the desired behavior (sit, fetch, come). If Fido does lapse: immediately repair the area with K9 Yard Patch.
Remember:- Remember to keep a bag handy for neighbor dogs that damage your front lawn or parking strip!
- Keep a bag of K9 Yard Patch handy for the occasional repair - the faster you repair the damage the less impact to your whole lawn!

Does dog urine ruin lawns?
The dying of grass caused by dog urine is also called "Lawn Burn". Lawn burn is caused by the nitrogen in dog urine. Because dog urine is very high in nitrogen, when the dog urinates, it is similar to pouring liquid fertilizer on the lawn. A little fertilizer is good for the grass, but an excess causes nitrogen burn. The prevention of lawn burn deals with trying to reduce the amount of nitrogen coming into contact with the grass. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1551&articleid=1493

I don't know about rabbits, but I understand that a tablespoon of tomato juice a day prevents a female dog's urine from burning the lawn. The single biggest thing is to dilute the urine with lots of water. The other is to improve the lawn drainage with sand or gypsum to let the urine drain through the soil rather than sitting in the root areas of the grass.

Does grass show in urine?
The urine will most likely kill the grass because urine is an acid and consists of toxins your body has removed from your system. I think it leaves brown patches The true reason is because of the high amount of nitrogen found in dog urine it can kill the grass. In a lawn were no fertilizer has been applied, dog urine will increase plant growth and green-up the grass. The problem sometimes comes when your lawn has high nitrogen levels from fertilizer and the dog urinates. This would be an "overdose" of nitrogen and cause the turf to burn. It's a common misconception that "acid" in dog urine kills grass. The truth is that dog urine can have a pH of 6.0-8.0(slightly acidic to slightly alkaline) which is no where near acidic enough to kill grass. True dog urine spots will many times be brown in the middle and growing vigorously around the brown spot. Dog Rocks are great, they reduce the amount of nitrate produced in the urine, which stops it killing off the grass. They are really easy to use, they just sit in your dogs water bowl.
