A greasy stain on clothing is an unpleasant situation, especially when there’s no opportunity to wash the item immediately. However, there are simple and accessible methods to tackle the problem without using a washing machine.
Here are some useful life hacks reported by Glavpost.
1. Use starch or talcum powder
These powders are excellent at absorbing grease. Sprinkle a little on the stain, gently rub it in, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. After that, shake off the remaining powder and repeat if necessary.
2. Apply a soapy solution
Household soap is a versatile helper. Moisten the stain with water and gently rub the soap on it. If water is unavailable, use a wet wipe with soap solution.
3. Use dishwashing liquid
Dish soap effectively dissolves grease. Apply a small amount to the stain and gently spread it. After 5-10 minutes, blot the area with a damp cloth.
4. Rely on baking soda
Baking soda is a natural absorbent. Sprinkle it on the greasy stain and gently rub it in. After some time, remove the excess baking soda and check the result.
