Oil stains on clothes are often a big challenge for many people, especially if the stain is already dry. The reason is, oil is an oily substance that easily seeps into fabric fibers, making it difficult to remove if just washed as usual. Now, when the oil dries, this stain binds more tightly to the fabric fibers. This makes the stain remain and is more difficult to remove.
However, these oil stains not only damage the appearance of the clothes, but can also leave an unpleasant odor. For this reason, many people are usually reluctant to wear clothes that are already stained with oil, because they are considered unfit to wear. Clothes that were still good were just thrown away because they had stubborn oil stains .
In fact, if you know the trick, even dry oil stains can be gone in one swipe, you know. An Instagram user @rumah_shahia once shared a simple trick to remove dried oil stains on clothes. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he relied on simple ingredients found at home and in the kitchen.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @rumah_shahia on Sunday (28/7), the ingredients in question are detergent and toothpaste. Apart from that, he also uses additional kitchen ingredients, namely vinegar and dish soap. So, a number of these ingredients will be mixed and will be effective in removing oil stains on clothes.
To use it, simply place the oil stained clothes in a bucket or basin. Position the stained area of the shirt at the top. After that, drop vinegar on the oil stain and let it sit for 10 minutes. While waiting for the vinegar to soak into the fabric fibers, prepare a small container first. If so, add enough toothpaste, dish soap and detergent powder. Stir until smooth and forms a slightly dense paste.
