Listen people, DO NOT put your clothes in hot water, the heat might set your grease stain. It might also shrink your clothing depending on the material. I shrunk a blouse made it of viscose 😢
Goop – mechanics waterless hand cleaner is a miracle on any oil based stain. I have also had great results with removing tomato based stains. It's just the best and with ONE use!
I called DAWN because I didn't see a rabbit symbol on the bottle. Nor was there a CRUELTY FREE slogan. I kept persisting for the TRUTH. The person I spoke with admitted "Yes we test on LIVE ANIMALS".
When my children were babies my mom taught me to keep a Rubbermaid bin full of water and detergent on top of the dryer. As the kids messed up it clothes they went in the bin. At the end of the day the whole bin got dumped into my top load washer.
Best thing which is also found in the kitchen, Corn Starch, put some on the stain enough to cover the whole stain area. Let it sit awhile and then wash as normal. Dry in drier repeat if necessary even after drying this will work. Sometimes you might need to leave overnight then wash and dry.
No need to scrub with Dawn. Put Dawn in spray bottle with a enough water to get it thin enough to spray on your stain, then saturate the area. Let it sit until you're ready to do laundry. Spray onto area again just before you put into wash machine
I've done this for years. I keep a small bottle of Dawn next to my hamper and let it sit until laundry day.
Most of the time, I forget to do this at the hamper. On laundry day, I inspect each shirt for stains and apply Dawn, rubbing in a bit. I put everything in the machine and set a timer for 1 hour. Then I run the wash as usual. The machine detergent prevents the Dawn from sudsing too much so no reason to rinse. Occasionally a stain is tough, I give it more attention the next time and all is fine.
Easier to put any dish detergent on the fabric, sprinkle with any laundry soda and rub stain. Wash in machine with hot water. works like magic, no soaking needed.
Oxy clean used to work like a miracle. It would remove old grease stains, armpit stains and even the impossible yellow collar stains. I don't know if they changed the ingredients or what went wrong but it doesn't work like that anymore.
Don't spend money on oxy. Use baking soda instead. Lightly scrub the oil stain with the paste and a soft bristle scrub brush. Wash as recommended… stain gone.
Animal rescuers use Dawn because Dawn gives it to them, writes it off as charity, and then makes commercials about it. It's not like Greenpeace is carefully opting for the Dawn over any other product, just filling up baskets with nods of self-assured approval down at Walmart. It's a fine product, I'm sure, but don't make it about anything other than a tax write-off at sticker price (not cost, btw) and a pr stunt.
The other thing that works if you have dried the shirt by accident. It’s WD4! Spray the spot and use a soft brush to work on the stain. Then wet the area with water and soap and scrub again. Rinse the shirt and check for stain and WD40 oil mark. If the stain is still there use WD40 again. If it’s only the oil stain from the WD40 soap the spot and rinse until you have removed it all. Wash as usual.

NEVER use hot water on a grease stain. that sets it.
Note to self – wear an apron, avoid all this.
Two things. Wear an apron or don’t wear the shirt ! 😊
First put your apron on.

Apply baby powder first to absorb oil.

I hope she doesn’t quit her day job. She’s no chemist.
Simply Green is great for grease, wine, blood, ball point ink… and it’s bio safe. Just wash like this video.
Lestoil – spot treat, let sit a few minutes, wash and dry. Done.

Dawn Ultra spray is the BEST
In a pinch, soap with rubbing alcohol works as an alternative to "Dawn Power Wash" and we all have plenty of hand sanitizer now (right?)

I use Shout and it works great

Takes less time to treat a grease burn than to clean a grease stain, that’s why I fry food naked

I totally agree. Have used this method and it works!
Castille soap works better…even on old grease stains that have been through the dryer…🎉
Or, just rub some GoJo on it. Gone in 60 seconds.
You can skip the oxi clean and add some alcohol to the dish soap scrubbing step if you don't want to fade your colours or if it's a delicate fabric.
And that’s why you should be old school and use an apron….
Why bother removing stains from my Costco shirt when they're turning it into a wearable masterpiece? 🎉
To the trash it goes ✌🏻😂
Seems like it would be easier to just buy a new shirt.
I've always wondered what would happen if you just submerged the entire THING in oil…🤔 Wouldn't it all be the same now? 😅
That's why im cooking naked
I just use Dawn. I don’t scrub or anything. But I do put it in the laundry basket. When I do the laundry the stain is gone.
I like these americas test kitchen videos. The cooks are real people not Instagram models pretending to eat!
