How can I get a butter stain out of pants? I've washed & dried them so is there any hope? Drycleaning maybe?

Question

Like I've said I washed and dried it so I don't know if it will come out with Oxy clean. So should i dry clean. Has anyone had experience with this?

Answer 1

If they're polyester - you can't. Ask a dry cleaner. It helps to know what material they're made from.

Answer 2

Use full strength original formula DAWN liquid dish washing detergent. It is blue & it washes out. Wet the stain with water, add a dab of Dawn directly onto the stain & gently rub it in & let it sit for 10 minutes & rinse as you rub the area. Repeat until the stain is gone. Use HOT water if you need to. Since you already washed & dried it, you have probably SET the stain with the dryer heat & now you'll need heat to soften up the area to remove the stain from the fabric fibers.

Answer 3

I learned this from an old woman while at the laundromat and seeing this young woman leave a lipstick in her pants then while in the dryer well you can imagine the mess it made. the old woman says ahh dawn (dishwashing liquid) will get that out no problem . well i heeded her advice and every stain i have had since including blood and stains that have been washed and dried sometimes it may take a couple of times but most of the time once and gone

Answer 4

Try treating the stain with Shout or Spray and Wash following the instructions on the container. Wash and check to see if it worked before dring. If not, follow up with mineral spirits and be sure to air out the article of clothing.

Answer 5

Also you should never dry in a dryer if the stain is still there. It can set the stain more. Try dry cleaning. You may be able to save them.

Answer 6

Try dawn dish soap, or maybe dab it with lemon juice or vinegar?? don't dry if stain is still there, keep trying to get it out...
