Help - Grease on clothes

lil_me

Have you tried soda crystals ? I've found this to be very good on oily stains.

If I dont know the origin of the stain I tamp it with Oil of Eucalyptus - available in chemists. The great thing is to put the article into soak asap but dont use hot water as it will `entrench` the stain. Washing soda, Ace etc can all be sued. If you do a search you can probably find some earlier posts!

So where are you from Newark, Newcastle.......................?

My neighbour has just been round to ask me this - apparently the soda crystals didn't work. I've suggested rubbing neat washing up liquid into the stain prior to washing. Not always guaranteed to work, but does more often than not

Neat stardrops rubbed in prior to washing also work a treat on most things

Either dampen the stain and rub (lots of) salt in to it prior to washing, or use white wine vinegar...

I always use a bit of neat washing up liquid rubbed in before it goes into the machine, have always been pleased with the results.
