We’ve all been there — one drop of oil from your skillet or a splash of salad dressing, and suddenly your favorite shirt has a stubborn grease stain. But don’t worry — you can fix it fast with these simple steps.
1️⃣ Act Quickly: The faster you treat a grease stain, the better. Blot (don’t rub!) the spot with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb excess oil.
2️⃣ Apply Dish Soap: Add a few drops of liquid dish soap directly onto the stain. Gently rub the fabric together or use a soft toothbrush to work the soap in — it’s designed to break down grease.
3️⃣ Rinse with Warm Water: Rinse from the back of the stain (not the front) to push the grease out of the fibers.
4️⃣ Wash as Usual: Toss the item in the washer using the warmest water safe for that fabric.
5️⃣ Check Before Drying: Never put greasy clothes in the dryer until the stain is fully gone — heat can set it permanently.
✨ Pro Tip from The CoBuilders: If the stain is old or stubborn, sprinkle a bit of baking soda before the dish soap. It’ll absorb leftover oil and deodorize the fabric naturally.
