Removing grease stains from clothes is very hard because of their high resistance. Usually it takes a lot of work, much more so if the stains have dried and penetrated the textile, regardless of the type. However, this does not mean we cannot get rid of them and enjoy our clothes looking as good as new. There are a number of tricks for removing grease from clothes that can really help. Some of them involve using natural products we already have at home. Want to know which ones they are? Discover them all in the following OneHowTo.com article on tricks for removing grease from clothes with natural products you have at home.
Steps to follow:
First, you can consider the option of going to a dry cleaner and seek professional help. Cleaning specialists will tell you which products can help get rid of grease and oil stains on your clothes and will advise you of the best option depending on the type of material involved.
Ideally you need to act quickly or as soon as the grease stain occurs. How? That's easy! Place a piece of paper towel on the stain, leave it to absorb the grease and then wash the garment as you normally do but in hot water.
Note that removing grease stains on clothes varies depending on the type of grease in question. For example, if it is a hard grease such as the one we find in cars or engines, using natural products is not an option and you must apply turpentine to the area, leave it to stand so that it can act, and then rinse with warm water. Turpentine could severely damage some fabrics, so proceed with caution and try it on a small patch of clothing before applying a large amount.
Another one of the best tricks for removing grease from clothes is to apply a little alcohol on the stain. We advise you to find out if these products are compatible with the fabric in question before using them, as you could cause irreparable damage.
Citrus is a good anti-grease agent and lemon juice is definitely an excellent option to remove grease stains. Apply it to the stain, leave it to sit and penetrate the fabric for a few minutes. You will see how the grease spot dissolves quickly.
In the same way as lemon juice, you can also apply white vinegar. You just need to apply it to the stain and wait to for it to work, the results will surprise you! You can use white vinegar to clean your washing machine as well.
If the grease stain is dry, try using the iron on it. Heat it, then sprinkle talcum powder on it. You will see that the stain disappears from the area. Just wash the item as you normally do and get it back in its original condition, perfect and ready to wear.
