Question

Answer 1

i think u should lick it with ur toungue...
if that doesn't work... try a secret herb which can only be found in the remotest part of the rain forest in Brazil... however.. the name of the plant is secret and cannot be disclosed.. so forget about it.

U can also try detergent!

Answer 2

Take a plastic knife or a butter knife and scrape over the stained area. Bring up as much of the Vaseline as possible.

Nest, use a paper towel or a cloth, wet the cloth with rubbing alcohol and dab at the stained area. You will see a glossy coating and the alcohol will break down the oils in the Vaseline to remove it. Continue this at least three or four times and then go to the next step, as you might not be able to see all the stain when it is wet.

Make a spray mixture of one-cup warm water and a tablespoon of clear bleach free dish liquid. Spray this on the stained area and blot with a clean paper towel to bring up more of the Vaseline.

If you still have a stain, spray the area with peroxide and let it dry. This will break up the stain further. Repeat as needed, letting the clothes dry between applications to completely remove any remaining stains.

Answer 3

Oil removes GREASE.. Get some regular old cooking oil..WESSEN OR CRISCO oil TYPE.. NOT SHORTENING.

Pour a little on Vaseline and work it in.. DO NOT DRY..

Then go to the sink and use some Dawn or other good dish soap and warm water. Still do NOT dry in the dryer. It will set ANY stain.. Work it again if you have to. But it will take it out.. After you are sure it is cleaned then you can dry it in dryer.. Otherwise hang it to dry until you are sure it is clean. I worked in a dry cleaners for many years.. This will work. AS LONG AS YOU DON`T PUT IT IN THE DRYER..
