Removing Oil Based Stains From Fabrics New Castle DE

Removing oil based stains from fabrics is easy by using any type of baby powder (dollar brand works great) on the stain before dry cleaning or washing. This method can be used on any type fabric. You can also use dish detergent, as the molecules in most liquids are made to trap oil. scrub the area with the liquid detergent, and rinse.

Steps

  1. Spread fabric/garment on a flat surface with the oil based stain facing up.
  2. Sprinkle any type of baby powder (cornstarch or regular) generously over the stain. Don't be stingy with the powder
  3. Let the powder rest on the stain for several hours or even overnight.
  4. Brush or shake off the excess powder.
  5. If the oil/powder residue raises up on the fabric, scrape it off, reapply powder and then let fabric rest again.
  6. Wash or dry clean as usual.
  7. If washed, check the spot before placing the fabric in the dryer.
  8. If the oil spot is still there, rubbing alcohol might remove the spot, but alcohol could also lift the color so TEST in an inconspicous spot before using.

Tips

  • Washing the fabric in warm or hot water is better, but cold water will also do.
  • Before dry cleaning, make sure you get ALL of the powder off the fabric.
  • Baby powder is also great for getting sand off feet, legs and other body parts because of it's oil absorbing ability. We never go to the beach without it.
