Talcum powder or cornstarch (immediate absorption)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the stain is fresh, it is best to absorb the grease before it penetrates deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sprinkle a generous amount&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>of talcum powder or cornstarch<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave it on for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>10-15 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;so that it absorbs the grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brush off the dust and proceed with your usual washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Dish soap (dissolves grease)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dish soap is formulated to dissolve grease and also works great on fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply a drop of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dish soap<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;directly to the stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rub gently with your fingers or a sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave it on for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>10 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and then rinse with warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proceed with normal washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>[adinserter block=&#8221;6&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Baking soda and white vinegar (natural degreaser)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This combination is effective for removing stubborn stains on light or colored garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sprinkle&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>baking soda<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>white vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;on top &nbsp;and let it sit for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>10 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rub lightly and rinse before putting the garment in the washing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Denatured alcohol (for stubborn stains)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol is a powerful solvent that can remove grease from tough fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dab the stain with a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cotton ball soaked in denatured alcohol<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leave it on for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>5 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and then rinse with warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proceed with your usual washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Chalk or flour (ideal for delicate fabrics)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the fabric is delicate, such as silk or wool, use white chalk or flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sprinkle the stain with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>crushed chalk or flour<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let it absorb for&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>an hour<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove dust and wash the garment as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>[adinserter block=&#8221;5&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grease and oil stains are among the most stubborn stains to remove from clothing, but with the right methods, they&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.bollyent.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
