Black Stain On Polyester Khakis
Well apparently whoever owned the slacks last was short because they were safety pinned in instead of hemming. When I unpinned them, to get the extra length, there was a BLACK line around bottom of each leg! I guess it's from the pants still being too long, therefore dragging on ground, pavement, who knows?
I've tried amonia, washed and dried. I've tried dish detergent, washed and dried. I've also tried vinegar to no avail. Stain has gotten lighter in color, but still there! Please tell me find an inexpensive solution to removing this ring! Thx!

I had always heard that if you use lemon juice on the stain it would lift. Since you have done so much to the pants already, what would a little lemon juice matter? Give it a try

If it seems practically impossible to remove the line, you might consider sewing some kind of decorative strip over the line, such as lace (if dressy) or bias tape or some other type of trim.

If you know someone that makes homemade soap, buy a bar. It works wonders for removing stains. There is a Castile soap that is sold in stores but I'm not sure of the brand name.
