Each of us has surely at some point managed to get a grease stain on a piece of clothing that was very difficult to clean. If you did manage to remove it after long hours of work, you count among the luckier individuals. Few people, despite all efforts, succeed in removing a grease stain. However, it is not such a difficult task that it could not be accomplished. If you know which methods and products to use for this task, you can remove grease stains very easily in a relatively short time. If you’re wondering how, read the methods listed below.
Dishwashing liquid
If a grease stain appears on your clothing, definitely do not try to wipe it with an ordinary dry napkin. You would only smear and spread the stain. Instead, keep a cool head, take some dishwashing liquid, clean the stain with it and then rub it with a cloth soaked in vinegar. Then simply rinse the garment with water and dry it.
Absorbent paper
Absorbent paper can also help you a lot. Do not use this method to get rid of a fresh stain. But if you bring home an already dried grease stain, this is a method you should really try. Prepare two pieces of absorbent paper. Insert one inside the garment at the spot of the stain, the other on the outside directly on the stain. Then simply heat an iron and iron the stain thoroughly. The grease will release from the clothing and be absorbed into the absorbent paper, which you discard.
Table salt
Almost everyone has table salt at home. If you pour a generous layer of this salt onto a fresh grease stain, you’re in luck. Wait 10 minutes; the salt will draw the grease into itself. After this time, sweep away the salt and apply a new layer to the stain. Apply table salt repeatedly in this way until the grease stain disappears completely. If you prefer, you can try a saline solution, which is just as effective and you don’t have to change the salt. Leave the garment soaked in a strong saline solution until the stain disappears.
