We Indians love having spicy and rich food. But imagine having it with your friends and family and you get to see a large greasy stain on your attire. Thank you very much, mutton keema! The reality is that oily stains are difficult to remove because the oil leaves a discolored patch on the cloth and an oily residue. Use these tips provided by South East Chemicals, a washing powder manufacturer in Jharkhand to remove oily food stains from your clothes with ease.

Tips to remove oily food stains from your clothes

Wipe away any extra oil from your clothing

Scoop any remaining oil from the cloth with a spoon. You won’t be able to remove the oil that has already seeped into the fabric, but it will keep the stain from spreading to other garment areas.

Rinse well with cold water

As rapidly as possible, run cold water through the rear of the stain. Make sure not to use hot water because it might make removing the stain even more difficult, if not impossible. Rub a little amount of detergent into the discolored area of the garment. Both sides should be totally saturated. The rationale for using detergent is because it is quite effective at eliminating the oily and fatty bits of the stain that try to attach to the fibers of your garments, says the detergent powder manufacturer in Jharkhand & West Bengal.

Apply a stain remover

Allow a stain remover (spray or liquid) of your choice to settle for at least 10 minutes before washing. To ensure that the affected area is completely coated, apply the stain remover to both sides of the cloth. Remember to wash the fabric within 20 minutes of using the stain remover. If the clothing is white, a moderate bleaching agent such as white vinegar might be used. Make sure to rinse afterward thoroughly. It’s crucial to remember that even moderate bleaching solutions can destroy clothes’ color. If you are concerned about this, you should skip this section.

If the steps above are ineffective, soak in warm water

If the stain persists, massage some laundry detergent into it and soak it in warm water for about 30 minutes. Rinse well before washing again. Then air-dry the clothing item to ensure that the stain has completely gone, says South East Chemicals, a detergent powder manufacturer in West Bengal.
