When you want to get that oil out of your clothes, it’s important to make sure you don’t allow the stain to dry or set into the fabric. You need to act fast and remove oil stains as soon as they happen.

Blot the stain to remove excess grease. Grab a tissue or a paper towel and press the stain gently on both sides to soak up the excess oil.

Make sure you check the fabric care label before washing your clothes. What temperature can the garment be washed on? Is it hand wash only? The label on your clothes should tell you how to wash your clothes safely

To remove grease or cooking oil stains, you can pre-treat the stain with a spot of dish soap, like Dawn. This will help loosen the stain before the wash, making it easier to remove oil from clothes.

To remove other oil stains, such as motor oil stains, oil-based paints or other tough oil stains, prepare a soaking solution with Tide to pre-treat the garment before washing.

Wash the garment in an enzyme-based liquid detergent, such as Tide Ultra OXI High Efficiency Liquid which has been specially designed to lift off even the toughest stains, like oils, from clothing.

Make sure the oil stain has completely gone before placing the item in the dryer. The heat of your tumble dryer can set the stain in to the fibers of the fabric.
