How to Remove Old Grease Stains from Clothing

Here, we'll share expert tips for How to Remove Grease Stains from Clothes:
  1. Blot the stain (don’t rub): Use a paper towel or clean cloth to gently blot away any excess grease. Rubbing will push it deeper into the fabric.
  2. Apply baking soda or cornstarch: Sprinkle generously over the stain, let sit for 10–20 minutes to absorb oil, then brush or shake off.
  3. Treat with dish soap: Apply a few drops of grease-cutting dish soap directly. Gently rub in with fingers or a soft brush, and let sit 5–10 minutes.
  4. Rinse and wash: Rinse with warm (not hot) water. Then launder on the hottest safe setting per care instructions; skip fabric softener.
  5. Air dry and inspect: Don’t machine-dry until you're sure the stain is gone. Heat sets grease forever. If it remains, repeat the steps.
  6. Extra tip for tough or old stains: For stubborn marks, repeatedly apply the dish-soap + baking-soda method or try a commercial grease stain remover (like Shout or enzyme-based products).
By using these easy steps from The CoBuilders, removing grease stains from clothes becomes simple and effective.
