Brilio.net - Cooking not only produces delicious food, but also leaves various stains on kitchen utensils and clothes. Splashes of oil and cooking spices often dirty various surfaces in the kitchen. Clothes worn while cooking are the main target of stains that fly during the cooking process.
Oil stains on clothes are among the most difficult types of stains to remove even after repeated washing. Regular detergents are often unable to remove oil stains completely. The slippery nature of oil stains makes the stains stick and leave traces on the fabric.
Cleaning oil stains requires special handling with certain ingredients that are effective in lifting fat. Dishwashing soap is an alternative choice that is widely used because of its ability to remove oil. The special formula in dishwashing soap is proven to be able to break down oil stains down to the fabric fibers.
Increasing the effectiveness of cleaning oil stains can be done by adding some supporting ingredients. One of the content creators on YouTube with the account creative explained shares tips for cleaning oil stains. His short tutorial shows the use of two simple kitchen ingredients that can maximize the process of cleaning oil stains on clothes.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube creative explained on Monday (12/23), the kitchen ingredients used are baking soda and lemon juice. However, before adding these two ingredients, it is best to first coat the oil stain with enough dish soap until it is even.

Once done, sprinkle baking soda on top. After that, add lemon juice. The combination of acid in lemon juice and alkaline baking soda will produce a foamy liquid.

Next, rub and mix these ingredients using a brush. Make sure the cleaning fluid has been completely absorbed. But for maximum results, it is best to let it sit for 5 minutes so that the cleaning fluid is completely absorbed into the fabric and makes the oil stains easy to clean.

After that, rinse the clothes under running water. Or you can wash them directly in an electric washing machine. If so, hang the clothes to dry.
After drying, the oil stains on the clothes were completely clean and didn't leave any marks.
