How do you remove grass
stains? Removal of grass stains
from washable fabrics requires
lots of patience and cleaning pro
ducts you probably have around
the house, says Carol Michael-
Bennett. OSU extension agent for
Morrow County.
Sponge the stain with rubbing
or denatured alcohol. Remove the
alcohol by sponging with cool
w ater. Next w ork liquid
dishwashing detergent into the
stain, then rinse with water.
If the stain still is visible, soak
in a mixture of one quart warm
water and one tablespoon enzyme
product for 30 minutes. Rinse
thoroughly, then launder in the
hottest water suitable for the
fabric, with chlorine bleach if the
fiber content and fabric permit.
Read the garment care label for
bleachability or test a mixture of
one teaspoon chlorine bleach and
one tablespoon of water on an in
conspicuous area of the garment.

(Cleaning the Skin Be
fore Injecting Insulin
Most diabetics who need insu
lin have been taught to prepare and
administer their own insulin injec
tions. Steps involved in preparing
insulin typically include mixing
contents of the insulin vial by roll
ing the vial in the palms o f the
hands. Diabetics also are taught to
check the expiration of the vial and
carefully read the vial label to make
certain the correct strength and type
o f insulin is being used.
Nurses and other health pro
viders teach diabetics to rotate
(change) insulin injection sites. If
sites are not rotated, there may be a
loss or thickening of subcutaneous
fat tissue. Either of these changes
in the skin around the injection site
can interfere with the absorption of
insulin. In the past, diabetics were
taught to pull the skin taut and use
an alcohol swab or cotton soaked
in alcohol to clean the skin.
It may not be necessary to clean
the skin with alcohol before each
insulin injection. A recent report in
American Pharmacy indicates that
washing the skin with soap and
water is just as effective as swab
bing with alcohol. The report indi
cates that soap and water also
avoids the sting that sometimes
occurs on injection. Diabetics with
insulin pumps or those with sup
pressed immune systems are in
structed to use alcohol to reduce
the possibility of local infections.
