Ultimate Guide: Remove Set-In Grease Stains from Laundry

ADVERTISEMENT

Absorb excess grease: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch directly on the grease stain. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes to absorb the oil, then gently brush off the powder.

Pre-treat with dish soap: Apply a few drops of dishwashing liquid directly onto the stain. Gently rub it in with your fingers or a soft brush to break down grease. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

Rinse: Rinse the treated area with warm water to remove the dish soap and loosened grease.

Vinegar soak (optional): For stubborn stains, soak the fabric in a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts warm water for 30 minutes.

Wash as usual: Launder the garment with your regular laundry detergent using the warmest water safe for the fabric.

Inspect before drying: Check if the stain is gone before drying; heat can set the stain permanently. Repeat the treatment if necessary.
