Things you will need
Clean white cloth/tissue paper for blotting
Step 1
Choose an appropriate pre-treatment plan:
Grease & oil stains become stubborn with time. That is why the first tip is to act proactively in treating these stains. The next tip is blotting. Always try to blot away excess oil or grease with tissue paper or a clean piece of cloth. There are many home-based ingredients as well as professional cleaning agents that you can use for pre-treatment. Choose it as per your convenience & the type of fabric you are handling.
An absorbent powder such as cornflour or baking powder is excellent for treating grease & oil stains. Apply them to the stained area. Leave it for some time and then brush away.
You can also use the WD-40 Multi-use product to treat grease & oil stains on your clothes. Spray it on the grease stain & then use your finger or a soft brush to work it in the fabric. WD-40 multi-use product breaks down grease & oil, thus making their removal quicker.
A paste of baking powder & lemon juice also works wonderfully in removing grease & oil stains. But lemon juice tends to bleach colors. Therefore, do a small patch test before applying to a large area.
Step 2
Wash with detergent
After you have managed to remove the stain, wash the cloth with your regular washing powder. Then rinse it thoroughly to remove any leftover residue or chemicals. We recommend using the warmest water recommended for your fabric.
Step 3
Repeat
If you find that the stain persists, repeat the above steps till the stain is gone. Finally, dry your clothes & enjoy wearing them again without any worries.
