These tips will help you remove oil stains from clothes.
Why Are Oil Stains So Hard To Remove?
Oil stains are difficult to remove because they are not water soluble. They’re also made of a fat-based substance that is difficult to dissolve.
How To Get Oil Stains Out of Clothes?
If you want to get oil stains out of clothes, there are several ways to do it. The most effective way is to use a commercial stain remover.
If the stain is fresh, blot with absorbent material like paper towels or cotton balls soaked in water and detergent. Wipe in one direction until no more liquid comes out of the fabric (which means that the solvent has been absorbed). Repeat if necessary until the stain is gone.
How To Remove Set-In Oil Stains?
To remove set-in oil stains, you will want to use a degreaser or dry cleaning solvent. These products are designed to dissolve the oils in the stain and lift them away from your fabric. You can use any cleaning product that contains solvents like acetone, xylene or methylene chloride if it is safe for use on your type of fabric.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Vinegar and baking soda. Mix equal parts of vinegar and baking soda, then apply the paste to the oil stain. Let it sit for a few hours, then brush off any residue with a toothbrush or cloth.
Detergent and water. Mix one tablespoon of detergent with two cups of warm water and put the mixture into a spray bottle before applying it directly on your carpet where there’s an oil stain.
