Pampas grass is a beautiful plant that can add elegance to a backyard or patio. But if you don’t want it anymore, it’s easy to get rid of. You just need some bleach and some time.

Dilute the bleach

Be sure to dilute the bleach before mixing it with water.

Bleach is a strong chemical and should be handled with care, so make sure you dilute it at least one part bleach to 10 parts water.

Pour the bleach into a spray bottle

Pour the bleach into a spray bottle.

Place the funnel over the mouth of the spray bottle and pour in 3 cups of bleach. You may want to wear gloves while you measure out the 3 cups of bleach because it can be very irritating if it gets on your skin.

Spray it

The best way to apply bleach is directly to the grass.

If you’re using a spray bottle, make sure you don’t spray it on the ground or in the dirt; just focus on spraying your blades of grass. This may take time and effort, but it should be worth it when your lawn looks brand new!

Allow the bleach to sit for a few minutes

Allow the bleach to sit for a few minutes, depending on how light you want your grass. If you want white, allow it to sit for less than five minutes; if you want yellow or brown, allow it to sit for about ten minutes. If you want green or blue, let it sit until all traces of color are gone, and only a faint tint remains at the tips of each blade of grass.

Rinse the pampas grass with water

Rinse the pampas grass with water, then let them dry completely over several days before using them again.

Do not use the grass until it is dry.

Conclusion

Bleach is an effective way to dye pampas grass, but it can be dangerous if not handled correctly.

Bleach is not a dye but kills organic material on contact, so make sure you wear rubber gloves and other protective gear when handling it. You must rinse the grass thoroughly after bleaching so that no bleach remains on them because it will continue to harm your pets if they ingest any of these chemicals.
