Grease Stains on a Tablecloth

RE: Grease Stains on a Tablecloth Post By rob (Guest Post) (10/20/2007) I have found the best way to remove gravy stains is simply to wash the entire garment in a vat of gravy. It's a little hard on the spin cycle, but it evens out the color quite nicely. Editor's Note Tee hee. RE: Grease Stains on a Tablecloth Post By Barbie (Guest Post) (02/15/2007) I have tried ammonia and it usually works....also WD-40 believe it or not seems to work on some tough grease stains wash soon after applying do not allow any pretreatment to dry as it will sometimes make the stain worse. RE: Grease Stains on a Tablecloth Post By (Guest Post) (02/05/2007) I would try pouring ammonia on it. I had turkey grease stains on my pants (from a baster that went wild). I washed them without thinking and even dried them. I rewashed them, pouring ammonia on them and the stain came right out. RE: Grease Stains on a Tablecloth Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (02/04/2007) If all else fails, and the cloth is really washable, use WD 40 right on the spot, let sit 15 minutes, rub between hands, then toss and wash/dry. It should be gone by then. Good luck. : ) RE: Grease Stains on a Tablecloth Post By Beth (Guest Post) (02/03/2007) I have had good results w/Scrubbing Bubbles. Saturate the stain and let soak, then wash as usual. Has worked on several things that I thought were ruined. Hope it works for you. Request: Removing Gravy Stains from Damask Tablecloth Post by moderator (1138) | (01/31/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact This Thanksgiving my guests got lots of gravy on my brand new white Damask tablecloth and napkins. Instead of using bleach (that is "hit and miss" in removing some stains), I used 3% hydrogen peroxide on the gravy stains. Carefully pour some on each stain, rub, wait a minute and the stain literally disappears before your eyes! Then launder as usual. The cloth and napkins are now "good to go" for Christmas. By Shelly E from Las Vegas Feedback: RE: Removing Gravy Stains from Damask Tablecloth My sister told me another great idea. Before you remove your tablecloth from the dinner table, pretreat all the spots with dish liquid. Dish liquid is formulated to remove food stains and grease. It works for me. (12/23/2005) By Carol
