Set-in grease stains can be one of the most stubborn laundry challenges, but with the right tools and techniques, you can tackle them effectively. This guide walks you through the process to restore your garments to their original state.
Step 1: Assess the Stain
Before starting, identify the type of fabric and the extent of the grease stain. Delicate fabrics like silk or wool may require gentler treatments, whereas sturdier fabrics like cotton can handle more robust cleaning methods.
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need:
- Dish soap (preferably one designed to cut grease)
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- A soft-bristled brush or old toothbrush
- Warm water
- An enzyme-based stain remover (optional)
- Laundry detergent
- A washing machine
