Spilled oil while cooking or accidentally dropped greasy food on your shirt? Don’t worry. There’s a simple and effective way to deal with grease stains without using harsh chemicals.
– Baking soda
– Dishwashing liquid (degreasing type)
– A soft toothbrush
– Lukewarm water
For a fresh stain, gently blot it with absorbent paper to remove as much grease as possible without spreading it.
Generously cover the stain with baking soda. Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the grease effectively.
Use a toothbrush to softly scrub the baking soda into the fabric. This helps to lift the particles out of the fibers.
Apply a few drops of dish soap onto the area and gently brush again. The soap breaks down any remaining grease residue.
Rinse the treated area with lukewarm water, then wash the garment in the machine at the recommended temperature—ideally 40 °C if the fabric allows.
For sensitive materials like silk or wool, avoid scrubbing. Instead, gently dab the area using a cloth soaked in lukewarm water with a bit of baking soda and soap.
This method works well on cotton, polyester, and denim. The key is acting quickly and using natural, gentle ingredients. Your clothes will thank you!
