Pre-Treatment Steps for Grease Stains
Before attempting to wash a grease-stained item, it’s crucial to pre-treat the stain. Start by blotting any excess grease with a paper towel or cloth. Then, apply a small amount of dish soap or a stain remover directly to the stain, gently working it into the fabric with your fingers or a soft brush. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before washing.
Effective Home Remedies for Grease Stains
Several home remedies can be effective against grease stains. Baking soda or cornstarch can be sprinkled on the stain to absorb excess oil. Let it sit for 30 minutes before brushing it off. Another method is to use a mixture of vinegar and water, which can help break down the grease. Apply it to the stain, let it sit, and then wash as usual.
