Talcum powder, also known as baby powder, will absorb the oil before it seeps into your fabrics. This method is a preventive measure that lessens the probability of your clothes getting stained by oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Sprinkle the talcum powder and completely cover the oil spill with a thick layer. <\/li>
- Use your palm or any flat object to press the talcum powder to allow the absorption of excess oil.<\/li>
- Remove excess talcum powder but leave the powder that sticks on the oil spill stain as is.<\/li>
- After 15 minutes, scrape the talcum powder off using a spoon or spatula.<\/li>
- Wash your clothes as usual.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Using vinegar to remove oil stains on clothes<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis procedure is mainly applicable to removing oil stains on white clothes. However, you can make a slight adjustment to using vinegar in colored clothes. But for the sake of removing oil stains on white clothes, the four-stepped procedure below will serve as your guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Pour white vinegar in a bowl.<\/li>
- Soak the oil-stained portion of your clothes in the bowl of vinegar. If oil stains are all over your clothes, thoroughly soak the whole piece of clothing in vinegar.<\/li>
- After 20 minutes, scrub the vinegar-soaked area to remove the oil stains.<\/li>
- Wash your clothes normally, and let it air dry.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
When oil stains are on colored clothes, modify the first step of the vinegar method above. Instead of using white vinegar, you can add equal parts hot water to the vinegar, rather than just straight vinegar. After preparing this solution, continue with the remaining three steps of the vinegar method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
