Sweat and oil stains on the face are a common problem that is often experienced by hijab users. Every day, during activities, sweat and natural oils from the skin in the area around the face or neck can transfer to the hijab. These stains not only interfere with appearance, but can also cause unpleasant odors.
The problem is, sweat and oil stains on the hijab tend to be difficult to remove when they have been left for too long and dried. The fibers of the hijab fabric that absorb oil make the stains more difficult to clean in the usual way, such as washing with detergent. As a result, these stains often leave annoying marks and make the hijab look dull.
To solve this problem, it is important to immediately clean the stain before it penetrates too deeply into the fabric fibers. But because detergent alone is not enough, some people then use other tricks that are more effective in removing the stain. An Instagram user @mikapratisha, once shared a trick to clean oil and sweat stains on the hijab without leaving a mark.
After further investigation, this Instagram user admitted to only relying on one cake ingredient. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @mikapratisha on Thursday (5/9), the cake ingredient in question is baking soda. So, this baking soda has properties that can absorb oil stains on fabric fibers.
How to use it, simply sprinkle baking soda on the area of the hijab that is stained with oil. After that, pat and press evenly until the texture of the baking soda changes to solid. Well, at this stage, baking soda will usually absorb the remaining oil stains from the fabric fibers, so that the texture changes.
