'Get rid fo those rigid oil stains.' No, this is not an ad of any washing detergents or soaps.
Removong oil stains can be made easy and effctive with some simple and interesting facts.
You need not waste your time on those expensive detergents, instead you can use coca-cola, baby powder, salt and other home stuffs. Follow them and see the difference for yourself.
;- ;
- Cover the stain with baby/ talcum powder. Keep it over night . Shake it off and then wash it as usual. It works well on fresh and old grease stains. ;
- Pouring a can of coca-cola in the washing machine with the other soiled clothes removes the stain without any effort. ;
- Put some salt on the stain for a while, brush off the salt and cover it with detergent . Gently scrub it and wash. ;
- This process works well even with silk. Pour gas lighter on the spot and wash it with liquid dish soap. Repeat the process if needed. ;
- Try blotting the stained area with a clean cloth. Sprinkle baking soda on the stain to absorb remaining oil. Soak the cloth in dish washing liquid and hot water for 30 min. If the stain still remains apply a thick paste of baking soda and water on the stained area. When the paste dries, brush it off and wash again. ;
- If your clothes have been stained with vegetable oil, then remove the oil with a blunt knife or spoon, this will reduce your work on scrubbing it for long . Use liquid detergent to scrub. Keep it for a while. Wash it in water at a temperature that is safe for that particular fabric. ;
Now what do we do if the stain is removed, but the smellof the oil still remains? Vinegar and orange cleaner comes handy. Soak the cloth in a mixture of vinegar and water for 30 minutes. An orange cleaner breaks down the traces of gasoline or oil and helps you get rid of the smell.
Follow these steps for your clean and stainless fabrics.
