No more buying expensive stain pre-treaters! Grab some white chalk to remove oil and grease spots on your clothes!
- Rub white chalk directly on the grease or oil mark
- The chalk will absorb the grease
- Wash your clothes like normal
- TIP: If the stain didn’t come out all the way, let fabric air dry and repeat above (before placing item in the dryer. Dryers set stains)

Is this only for cooking oil & grease or does it work on work clothes too? My hubs is a mechanic… course his stuff has been wash various times but I was thinking of the new stains…. maybe it could work? Thx
My husband is a train engineer and works at home in the garage all of te time..if he gets any grease or grime on him I mix warm water and Dawn dish detergent and pour onto spots then rub the fabrics together…this usually takes out at least 85-95% of his stains!!!
I want to know how to get set in grease and oil out. Ruined a new shirt the first day of school.
Dawn gets out grease out of clothing, that nothing else will!
My grandma always used Lestoil. It smells kind of bad, and it seems like you are putting oil on an oil stain but it works to remove oil.
Just a little liquid Dawn dish soap works great, too, it also works for set in grease stains like salad dressing
Baby powder is awesome for getting rid of oil spots on clothes. I use this all the time because I always seem to splatter oil on myself when I cook. (Olive oil, bacon grease, etc.) Just sprinkle baby powder on the spot and rub it in. You’ll notice that it is attracted to the oil but easily brushes off the part that isn’t oily. Then wash and dry as normal. Works on spots that have already gone through the dryer too. I’ve saved several shirts this way. Try it and see when you think.
Place your clothes in the washer. Pour Coke over them and let soak. Wash normally and the Coke should take out all of your grease stains!
Dawn dish washing liquid works wonders for getting new and OLD oil stains out….the blue kind works best….
I am a big fan of Dawn Dish soap for oil and grease stains. It even works if you wash you clothes and dry them and then find the stain! Food oil stains and auto grease..always the original blue
Dawn dish liquid does the trick too! Just lightly rub it on the oil stain from both inside & out, then wash it like normal. Pure awesome!
I use baby powder instead of chalk. Works great.
great! short and simple tips
If the oil stain is already set from going through the dryer, try rubbing Murphy’s Oil Soap on the stain & re-wash. I can’t tell you the number of stains I’ve been able to remove & the amount of clothes I’ve been able to save by using it. It has been my ‘go-to’ stain remover for years.
Try adding a small about of Lysol to your load of laundry. My husband is a cook in a kitchen. Its best thing i have ever tried
I mean PINESOL. SORRY. I wasn’t paying attention To what I originally put
Oil removes oil. Spray cooking oil or Wd40 on a set-in oil stain and rub it in. Then wash as normal.
Isnt that crazy? Wonder why one oil will remove another and then BOTH will be gone! Any chemists out there want to explain?
any kind of powder dish washing machine detrgnt,plus peroxide gets any stain out
I use regular blue Dawn dish soap on grease stains. It has even worked on clothes that had been dried in the dryer. I put the Dawn directly on the stain, wadded the article of clothing up, and put in the hamper until I did the next load (2-3 days). To my surprise, it took the stains out! I have only tried this so far on cotton fabrics, as most of our stains are on our shirts.
Fight grease with grease
Pinesol will work everytime
