Oil Slick Slip: Goodbye Grease!

-


 Oil stains might seem impossible to remove, but with these steps, you can easily get rid of them:

  1. Blot Excess Oil: Gently blot the area with a paper towel to absorb as much oil as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

  2. Sprinkle Baking Soda or Cornstarch: Apply a generous amount of baking soda or cornstarch directly onto the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will absorb the oil, lifting it out of the fabric. Brush off the powder after it’s absorbed.

  3. Dish Soap Application: Apply a few drops of liquid dish soap to the stain and gently rub it in. Dish soap is designed to break down grease, so it works wonders on oil stains. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

  4. White Vinegar Rinse: For stubborn oil stains, apply a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water. Dab with a clean cloth and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. This helps break down remaining oil.

  5. Pre-Treat with Laundry Detergent: Apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent to the area, let it sit for another 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

  6. Wash in Cold Water: Launder the garment according to its care instructions, ideally in cold water. Air-dry to ensure the stain is gone, as heat can set any lingering oil.

With these steps, you’ll keep your clothes grease-free and ready to wear!
