Getting a grease stain on your clothes is never pleasant, but with the right approach, you can salvage your favorite pair of jeans. Whether it's a pizza mishap or another oily encounter, here's how to tackle grease stains and have your denim looking fresh again.
How Soon Should You Clean Grease Stains?
Act swiftly when grease strikes; the longer it sits, the harder it is to remove. Pre-treat the stain immediately with stain gel if you're unable to start the cleaning process right away.
Materials and Tools
Toothbrush, washing machine, roll of paper towels, mild dish soap, baking soda.
How to Remove Grease Stains from Jeans
-
First, Dab the Stain: Gently dab the stain with a folded paper towel to remove excess oil.
-
Treat the Stain with Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda on the stain and let it sit for a few hours. Vacuum or brush off the excess.
-
Follow Up With Soap, Water, and a Toothbrush: Apply a drop of mild dish soap, scrub the stain with a toothbrush, and rinse or launder the jeans.
-
Air Dry Instead of Using Your Dryer: Avoid heat, as it can set the stain. Opt for air drying until you're certain the stain is gone.
Additional Tips
- If the baking soda and dish soap method fails, try spraying vinegar on the stain before washing.
- If the stain persists after using the dryer, repeat the cleaning process with an enzyme-based cleaner as a pre-treatment.
Remember, act promptly, follow these steps, and soon you'll be enjoying your pizza without worrying about stubborn grease stains on your jeans!
