How do you get olive oil out of clothing?

Answer 1

I'm not sure you can. Oil stains are the worst.

Try dish soap. The handwashing kind, not dishwasher kind. I recommend Dawn. When they say it cuts grease, it's true. It is the only non abrasive soap that gets car engine grease off of my hands.

DON'T put it in the dryer until the stain is out. The heat will set the stain.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Good news, BLC! Olive oil is one of the easiest oils to get out of most clothing.

Just use any degreaser . . . Dawn dishsoap, simple green, dissolve-it are just a few! Read on the lable. If it says it's for grease, oil, tar . . .you've got a product!

The only caution is some products will affect the color of the base fabric. If it is a new product check by putting some of the product on the interior seam allowance to see if it will alter the color. The three I suggested have never caused any problems for me and all the garments I've used them on.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Try some Dawn dishwashing soap. If that doesn't work, try Fast Orange Hand Cleaner found in the automotive department. You need to rub these straight onto the stains, before laundering. This worked for me.

Answer 4

you can put some talc powder spread over the spill for about 10 minutes then cover it by a piece of kitchen paper then pass over the cloth by a hot iron, the oil will run away to the paper. after that you can wash the cloth inside your washing machine,that's all.

good luck...
