The RIGHT Ways to Remove Grease Stains from Clothes & Fabric

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to removing grease stains from various fabric types. They explain what grease stains are, why they’re difficult to remove, and offer detailed step-by-step instructions tailored to different materials including cotton, linen, synthetics, wool, silk, leather, and suede.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends acting quickly on grease stains by blotting (not scrubbing) excess grease and using desiccants like baking soda or cornstarch to draw out remaining oil before applying cleaners
• The Gazette team advises using grease-fighting dish soaps, enzyme-based detergents, or stain pre-treatments for sturdy fabrics, but cautions against high heat in dryers as it can set grease stains permanently
• The Gazette team suggests fabric-specific approaches: delicate silks require baby powder and mild hand washing, wools need cool water solutions, and stubborn set-in stains may require water displacement lubricants like WD-40 followed by repeated hand washing
