In the previous parts, we explained how to remove oil stains from clothes. We said that there are different ways to remove these annoying and challenging stains: baby powder, shampoo, soap, stain remover and hot water, lubricating liquids or spray WD-40, aloe vera gel, cornstarch and plaster. This part will discuss the rest of these convenient and simple solutions for removing oil stains.

Eighth method: Baking soda to remove oil stains

Baking soda helps you remove oil fat from the fabric. In this way, the fat stain will be removed.

There may be grease stains on clothes, sofas, curtains or any other fabric surface. Some of these surfaces are easily washable and some are exceptions to this rule. Since washing sofas or curtains is more complex than washing sheets or clothes and requires more time, you should look for an easier way to remove grease stains from them.

Baking soda is the solution you are looking for. It simply removes grease from the fabric and cleans it. Here’s how to do it step by step.

Remove oil stains on clothes with baking soda.

1. Using a clean paper towel or cloth, remove the oil from the fabric.
2. Pour a little baking soda on the damaged fabric and wait for 24 hours.
3. After the required time has elapsed, collect the baking soda with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
4. Use a solution of water and vinegar to clean the baking soda left on the cloth.
5. Make a little foam with soap and water and brush it on the stain.
6. Wipe the foam off the cloth.
7. Keep doing this until there are no traces of grease stains on the fabric.

Ninth method: Remove oil stains on clothes with salt and alcohol

Use salt and alcohol to remove grease stains from jeans and linen, do the following:

• First, mix salt and alcohol in a ratio of 1 to 3.
• Then apply this mixture to the grease stain.
• Allow the solution to remain on the grease stain for 15 minutes.
• Then wash clothes regularly and let them dry.

Tenth method: Remove oil stains using soda

Many nutritionists forbid us from fizzy drinks, but this drink has many uses in housekeeping and cleaning. To remove grease stains from clothes, pour the soda directly on them and leave it for an hour or two until the oil is completely dissolved. Then rinse the clothes first and wash as usual.

Eleventh method: Remove grease stains with acetone

Acetone is a powerful solvent. So before using it, you must make sure that it doesn’t damage the fabric fibres. Many clothes have a clothing care label, which gives us information about it.

To be more sure, apply a drop of acetone to a part of the inner seam to see its effect on the fabric. Then rub the cotton soaked in acetone on the oil spot and wait a few minutes. Finally, wash the clothes by hand or in the washing machine.

Twelfth method: Apply hairsprays to wipe the stain of fat

hairsprays contain compounds that dissolve fat molecules and eliminate their effects. To do this, put the hairsprays a short distance from the fabric and spray the desired area to get wet. After a few minutes, wash the clothes in the usual way.

Clothing stains are usually divided into three main categories: protein-based, chemical-based, and water-based stains. Each type of stain remover has a unique solution and solvent, so we recommend that you consult a professional laundry before removing any stain on your clothes; because some stains should never come in contact with water or pass through the fabric, in which case they may never be removed again.
