Olive Oil Stain on Clothing

RE: Olive Oil Stain on Clothing Post By Gerald (Guest Post) (09/05/2008) Can anyone from Italy answer this question? The cleaners there have gotten olive oil stains out of many articles of my clothing that cleaners here in the USA could not remove. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Olive Oil Stain on Clothing Post By M. C.

I hate to spend $25 at the dry cleaner for a pair of khakis and a polo shirt! Jennifer from Chicago Answers: RE: Olive Oil Stain on Clothing Hi Jennifer!!! Squirt Dawn dishwashing liquid on the grease spot full strength, rub it in and wash as usual (I usally let it sit for a few minutes before washing). If the spot doesn't come out, repeat the process a time or 2 more. It's never failed me on any grease spots...even dried in spots!!! (09/06/2006) By Luvyabye Annie There is a product called GOOP and it is sold as a hand cleaner for mecanics. I found it at a dollar store and it's the only grease remover I've used that has worked on absolutely everything. You might find it at an automotive supply store. (09/08/2006) By RE: Olive Oil Stain on Clothing WD-40 ---> WD40 is made from oil & oil takes out oil. First take a rubber band, wrap the rubber band around the stain to isolate it. Spray on the WD40, let it sit a few hours. ---> Then you need to remove the WD40. since WD40 is oil based, use cheap shampoo, because Shampoo removes oil. ---> do NOT put any stains in the dryer, as this sets the stain! Make sure all stains are gone before drying in a machine. As stated above. Goop (or any waterless hand cream) is the best all around stain remover. You could try the Goop first because Goop is made to remove oil from you hands. If the Goop dosen't work, use the WD40.

Worked on turkey grease that was spilled on my dress pants and they had even been through the washer and dryer first. (09/11/2006) Report Spam or Abuse
