How to get grease stains out of clothes

The first step in tackling grease stains is to pre-treat the affected area. Pre-treating will help break down the stain and is an ideal way to get grease out of clothes. To start, gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any excess grease. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push the grease deeper into the fabric. Next, apply a small amount of dish soap or a grease-fighting laundry additive directly to the stain. Gently work the soap into the fabric using your fingers or a soft brush. Let the soap sit on the stain for about 10-15 minutes (for Vanish 5 minutes) to allow it to penetrate the grease. This pretreatment step will help loosen the stain and prepare it for the next steps in the stain-removal process.

Now that you've pre-treated the grease stain, it's time to choose the right stain remover to effectively remove the remaining grease. When it comes to selecting a stain remover, it's important to consider the fabric of your clothing and the type of grease stain you're dealing with.

Grease stain can be tough to tackle. Like oil stains, cooking grease stains need to be treated quickly. Luckily, the Vanish Oxi Action formula can help you remove grease stains.

Vanish Napisan Gold Pro Stain Remover Powder can be used to remove cooking grease stains safely, even in a cold wash. For white garments, use the Vanish Napisan Gold Pro Crystal White Stain Remover Powder to remove grease stains without damaging your whites, at the same time as helping prevent them from greying overtime.

Successful results are not guaranteed. Always check labels and follow product instructions.

Before going in with the stain remover, test in a small inconspicuous area before full application. This will help to ensure no damage occurs to your clothing.

Once tested, use your usual detergent and add one scoop of Vanish stain remover powder.

Remember to follow the care instructions on the clothing label to determine the appropriate washing method. For most fabrics, machine washing on the appropriate setting with a regular laundry detergent and additives should be sufficient. Once the garment is washed, check for any remaining stains before proceeding to the next step of the stain-removal process.

In some cases, one round of stain removal may not completely eliminate the grease stain from your clothes. If you still notice traces of the stain after washing and checking, don't worry. It's not uncommon for stubborn grease stains to require multiple treatments. Simply repeat the stain removal process, starting with pre-treating the stain and following the steps outlined in this blog. Be patient and persistent, as it may take a few attempts to completely remove the grease stain. Remember to choose the right stain remover for the fabric and follow the instructions carefully. With determination and the right techniques, you'll be able to successfully remove even the toughest grease stains and restore your clothes to their original condition.
