A Guide to Eradicating Laundry Set-In Grease Stains

Rinse: Rinse the treated area with warm water to remove any soap, baking soda, or vinegar residue.
Apply Stain Remover: For tough stains, apply an enzyme-based stain remover before washing.
Use Warm Water: Wash the garment in the warmest water safe for the fabric, as heat helps break down grease.
Check Before Drying: Before placing the item in the dryer, ensure the stain is completely gone. Heat from the dryer can set the stain permanently.
Step 5: Repeat if Necessary
Stubborn grease stains may require multiple treatments. Repeat the pre-treatment and washing process until the stain is fully removed.

Additional Tips
Act Quickly: The sooner you treat the stain, the easier it is to remove.
Avoid Over-Scrubbing: Scrubbing too hard can damage delicate fabrics.
Test First: Always test cleaning agents on a hidden area of the fabric to avoid discoloration or damage.
Use Cornstarch for Fresh Stains: If the grease is fresh, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on it to absorb the grease before treatment.
By following these steps, you’ll be well-equipped to handle even the most persistent grease stains and keep your clothes looking clean and fresh.
