Oil and grease are the most difficult stains to remove. As soon as they spill on the clothes, they penetrate deep inside and are fixed in the threads connected to them. If you don't act fast, the chances of getting rid of the stains decrease. There are many ways to remove stubborn oil and grease stains. They may take a while, but you can pull them off if you're a bit patient. If you are wondering how to get rid of oil stains, you can try these tips to see if it works for you.

If you want to prevent stains from getting in, you need to work fast. You can prevent it from becoming permanent by adding some baking soda or chalk and adding soap to break up the grease and allow it to be washed away. You can treat the stain several times to make sure it is completely gone. The more you wait, the harder it is to remove the stain. So here are some easy method and tips to remove oil stains.

 

Oil Stain Removal With Baking Soda


 

Baking soda draws grease from the cloth by absorbing it. Procedures include: 

 

  • Use a cloth to wipe away as much grease as possible. 
  • Sprinkle the area with baking soda and leave it there for 24 hours.
  • The next day, gently wipe off the baking soda. 
  • Quickly spray the stain with a solution of vinegar and water.
  • Use a soft bristle brush to apply a small amount of soap. 
  • If the stain persists, repeat the process.

 

Oil Stain Removal With The Use Of Chalk



Minimal oil stains can be removed with chalk.

 

  • Use a clean paper or towel to remove any food or oil that sticks to the cloth. 
  • Apply chalk to the stain and let it sit for several minutes.
  • Wash clothes as soon as possible after stain. 

 

If you act fast, you can only do it at once. The sooner you treat the stain, the less likely it will be permanent. 

 

Old and Tough Oil Stain Removal


Stains that have been on the fabric for a while can be difficult to remove. However, if you follow these steps, you can remove the stain easily. For this process, don't use any cloth or piece of fabric to get started.

 

  • Place a piece of cardboard under the stain and wipe it with a paper towel. 
  • Add a little liquid dish soap and work it into the stain.
  • Using a soft toothbrush will help. 
  • Leave to rest for a few minutes.
  • Rinse it with lukewarm water and put it in the washing machine. 
  • After the wash in warm water, use a small amount of fabric softener or bleach to continue the cleaning process.
