How do I get oil stains out of cotton fabrics?

Question

It's 95% cotton, 5% spandex. I spilt peanut oil on the breast part of the shirt.

Answer 1

This is the best thing I have ever found to take any kind of grease and oil out of clothes. Get some Dawn Dishsoap, and put it directly on the stain. Saturate the area with it. Leave it sit for 24 hours, then wash in warm water. It works everytime and you dont have to spend alot on expensive cleaners that dont work half the time.

Answer 2

U can first try alittle drop of Dawn dish liquid soap. Wash/rinse don't put in dryer. I immediately spray Shout but their r times it won't come out. So I'll use shout with WD40 the automotive stuff. For whatever reason it gets the stain out, then I launder as usual. Once I'm sure the stain is gone, throw it in the dryer.

Answer 3

I forget what they are called, but there are sticks that you can buy that get rid of stains. They work great. You just rub the stick on the stain and after washing the clothing the stain should be gone.

Answer 4

properly you may attempt with baking powder , upload a tablespoon of baking powder to a small drop of water , lay over the stain & depart for 10 min´s or greater , uncertain if it is going to elevate out now as you assert you have already washed it . wash in chilly water

Answer 5

use waterless hand cleanser as a prewash
or it's really bad , soak the garment in cola overnight
and to get rid of the oil odor , throw a cup of baking soda into the wash cycle.

Answer 6

dawn dish soap works great.
