How to Get Rid of Set Grease Stains on Clothes
Step 1:
In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of baking soda and 3 tablespoons of Dawn dish soap. Mix until well combined using a spoon. You need a paste-like consistency. Add more Dawn dish soap if needed.
Step 2:
To make sure it doesn’t stain your clothes, try testing a small amount in a covered area that people don’t usually see before adding to the greased area.
Add the mixture to the set greased stain and work it into the skin using the back of the spoon. Rub it in thoroughly to get into the fibers of your clothes. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
The mixture can dry out in an airtight jar. If you have an older batch, just add a few drops of water to get it back to the right consistency.
Step 3:
After 15 minutes, wash as you normally would.
If the stain is still there after washing, repeat the process.
