How can I remove an oil stain from a white dress. Ordinary washing powder has not worked? thanks?

Answer 1

Try shout or the dry cleaners

Answer 2

Try lighter fluid. I have used it to remove all sorts of stains. Just put some on a clean cloth and rub it gently into the stain. May have to use a good scented rinse to remove odor, though it will leave after a while. Good luck!

Answer 3

Try putting talcum powder (the one u apply on your body) onto the oil stain spot on your white dress. Leave it for sometime before washing it off. It should come off.

Answer 4

Make a paste out of cascade dish detergent and water, rub on the spot, let it soak in for about 10 mins and then use a toothbrush and gently scrub til the stain is gone.

Answer 5

Try some makeup remover or cleanser that you use on your face. (as long as the cleanser isn't coloured) It seems to break up cooking oil stains so when you re wash them, it comes out.

Good luck..sounds like you really like this dress!

Answer 6

You could bleach it out. Or you could use a cleaning product called Zout. It really works! One time I had a black stain on a white sweatshirt and after using zout it came out! If none of these work your other option could be to go to the dryers and pay them to get the stain out.

Answer 7

you can use two ways, first, dampen the spot and sprinkle it with baking soda, this will pull the stain to the top, you might have to do this more than once, secondly, spray the spot with spray and wash and set out in the sun the chemical reaction will fade the stain

Answer 8

rub some fairy liquid into the stain then wash the item with normal washing powder again.

Answer 9

I would take something like that to a dry cleaner if you really like the dress

Answer 10

I think if you've already washed it in water, you may have set the stain.
Go to a dry cleaner and see if they can help.
