Removing oily food stains

by Michele

My mom taught me that if you keep a bottle of shampoo in the laundry, you can use it to remove oily food stains.

Just pour some on the stain and gently rub then launder as usual. I have found that shampoo for oily hair works best.

Oily Stain Removal
by: Little Miss Daredevil

You can also use eucalyptus oil. Make sure you dab it on with a bit of kitchen or paper towel and don't rub it in. Then wash as usual.
You may need to rewash the item again to remove the eucalyptus odour. Don't worry if there is a small water mark on the garment after the first wash. This will disappear in the second wash. Don't use on delicate garments such as silk etc though.

Eucalyptus oil is also really good at removing other sticky goo like old sticky tape (Don't know what you call it in the US...its Sellotape over the pond!) and stickers. Make sure you remove the top layer of sticker paper first.

Totally agree
by: Ravyn

I hadn't tried the shampoo bit, but I've used Dawn. I'll have to check out the shampoo and see if it works out any cheaper (I'm a little messy when I eat lol). Dawn works great though because it's for food on dishes anyway. Thanks for the new idea.

Shampoo Removes Skin Oil Too!
by: Anonymous

I use shampoo to hand wash bras and underclothes. The shampoo breaks down the skin oils on the fabric and removes perspiration odors too.

My sister tests this technique. Now I use it. I agree, because it's worked 100% with any oily foods! Thanks!

i use dawn too

Have a greasy food stain on a shirt? Use original blue Dawn! Simply rub a small amount into the stain, covering it completely. Let it sit a few minutes before washing. Tough stains may take an extra wash or two, but this has worked every time for me!
