It can happen quickly: Not paying attention when eating or cooking and a grease stain spreads across your clothes. Grease stains on blouses, trousers etc. are not only unsightly, but unfortunately also quite stubborn. But don’t panic! With WD-40 penetrating oil, you can remove greasy stains in no time! We’ll tell you how to do it.
WD-40 is not only a lubricant, but also an excellent cleaning agent that can be used in many different ways around the home. The penetrating oil also helps to remove grease stains from almost all textiles.
To remove stains with WD-40, you need:
- WD-40 spray (penetrating oil)
- Baking powder
- Washing-up liquid
- a piece of cardboard
- cotton buds
- Brush or sponge (e.g. an old toothbrush)
How to remove the stains:
Place the cardboard between the front and back of the garment. After all, you don’t want the other side to be stained as well. Spray the WD-40 onto the grease stain and carefully rub it into the fabric with the cotton buds. Now sprinkle baking soda generously over the affected areas. Don’t be too sparing, as the powder must be able to absorb all the oil.
The powder is then rubbed into the clothing with a brush until lumps form.
Now it’s the turn of the washing-up liquid. Put a few drops on the baking soda and rub it in well again.
Remove the residue from the household detergent and the cardboard before washing the garment in the washing machine as usual. After washing, the grease stain is history and your garment will look as if nothing ever happened. And all with the help of WD-40 penetrating oil, which you can also use to remove coffee stains and stains on the table.
