Grandmothers’ wisdom, ah! Although oil stains might be difficult to get rid of, this time-tested technique frequently works wonders:

My Grandmother’s Oil Stain Removal Trick:

Quick Action: The most important thing is to move fast. To remove as much oil as possible from the stain, blot it as soon as you see it using a fresh, absorbent cloth. To prevent the discoloration from spreading, avoid rubbing.

Baby Powder or Cornstarch: Apply a generous amount of baby powder or cornstarch to the stain. These absorbent powders will help draw out the remaining oil. Let it sit for several hours or overnight for best results.

Wash as Usual: Brush off any excess oil after the powder has absorbed it. After that, wash the item as you normally would, paying attention to the label’s care instructions.

If necessary, repeat the procedure with new powder if the discoloration doesn’t go away.

Important Notes:

– Avoid using hot water or putting the garment in the dryer before the stain is completely removed. Heat can set the oil stain, making it much harder to get out.

– Before applying any cleaning method to the stain, always test it on a hidden area of the fabric to ensure it doesn’t cause any discoloration or damage.

This technique frequently removes oil stains from a range of textiles. However, the type of oil, the fabric, and the stain’s age can all affect how effective it is.
