When doing activities in the kitchen, it is not uncommon for the clothes being worn to be exposed to stains. For example, when frying, hot oil can explode and hit the clothes. These oil stains are known to be difficult to eradicate if only washed with water and detergent.

That's why many people choose to soak clothes that have oil stains in hot water. Hot water is believed to be effective in removing stubborn oil stains on clothes. However, the owner of the TikTok account @listacuan has a different way. Instead of using hot water, there are two kitchen ingredients that are no less effective in removing oil stains on clothes.

" Bye-bye oil stains! Yesterday my clothes were splashed with oil, because of fried pempek which suddenly exploded ," he wrote in the caption of @listacuan's TikTok upload, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (16/8).

Well, the first kitchen ingredient that you have to prepare is dish soap. Drop enough dish soap on the oil stain on the clothes. Don't forget, this process is done while the clothes are still dry, okay.

Next, prepare the second kitchen ingredient, baking soda. Sprinkle the part of the shirt that has been given dish soap with enough baking soda. Then, scrub using a toothbrush so that the dish soap and baking soda are evenly distributed. The owner of the TikTok account @listacuan explained that this baking soda will speed up the process of absorbing oil stains so that they no longer stick to clothes.

After being given dish soap and baking soda, let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, the clothes can be washed as usual, either by rubbing or washing with a washing machine. The washed clothes will look clean and free from oil stains.
