Grab a blunt weapon: No, seriously. A dull knife or spoon will be your trusty sidekick. Gently scrape off any excess avocado – think of it as foiling the villain's (avocado's) master plan.
-
Run, don't walk, to cold water: Hot water will set the stain, making it a permanent resident of your jeans. Flip those jeans inside out and blast the stain with cold water from the back. Think of it as giving the avocado the cold shoulder.
Pre-Treat Like a Pro: Biceps Not Required (But Maybe Helpful)
Now, let's get down to some serious stain-fighting business.

Laundry detergent: Your first line of defense. Apply a generous amount of your favorite liquid laundry detergent directly to the stain. Gently massage it in – picture yourself giving the stain a good pep talk, convincing it to leave peacefully.
-
Don't underestimate the power of baking soda (or cornstarch). These pantry staples can absorb oil, a key component of avocado. Apply a thin layer and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Then, brush it off and prepare to be amazed (or moderately impressed).
Pro Tip: If you're dealing with a particularly stubborn stain, consider an oxygen-based stain remover. Just follow the instructions on the label – they're usually stain-fighting ninjas.

Wash Away the Evidence (and the Avocado)

Laundry time! Turn your jeans inside out again and wash them according to the care instructions on the label. Using warm or hot water can help loosen the stain further. But remember, always check the label first!

Inspect your handiwork. Once the wash cycle is complete, take a good look at the stain. Did you achieve avocado annihilation? If a faint shadow remains, repeat the pre-treatment and washing process. Remember, persistence is key!
Congratulations! You've Conquered the Avocado!
With a little know-how and some elbow grease (or maybe just fingertip wiggles), you've vanquished the villainous avocado stain. Now you can go forth and enjoy your next avocado adventure, knowing you're armed with the knowledge to tackle any future guacamole mishaps.
