Over the years I have become quite the stain master. I can get almost any stain out! And this is the secret weapon behind removing grease and oil stains, including olive oil, chapstick, food grease, etc. The thing about this method is it works well even if you’ve already dried your clothes in the dryer and “set” the stain. Step 1: Add to the stain and work it in with your fingers gently. You can add a few drips of water to help work it into a little lather (pro tip work it from both side of the fabric to help penetrate the solvent through.) Step 2: Leave the garment alone for AT LEAST an hour. Preferrably overnight! It needs time to absorb and cleave all the grease molecules. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly and launder as usual. 10/10 times it will vastly reduce the grease/oil stain, and usually erases it completely. Sometimes if there’s a slight bit left, just repeat the process as necessary, until gone! have gotten the most heinous dried/set olive oil and chapstick stains out of shirts and pants with this method!
