Oil stains on clothes can be a pesky problem, often seeming impossible to remove, no matter how hard you try. Whether it's cooking oil or grease, these stains can leave a permanent mark if not treated correctly.
Fortunately, with the proper techniques and the power of modern laundry solutions, removing oil stains is easier than ever.
This blog will explore practical methods to remove oil stains from clothes, including using bio-enzyme-infused Ecosys laundry pods.
4 Steps to remove oil stains from clothes
1. Act Quickly and Blot the Stain
Once you spot an oil stain, quickly blot the area with a clean cloth. Gently dab, but avoid rubbing as this could push the oil deeper into the fabric.
The aim is to absorb oil as much as possible before washing.
2. Apply Dish Soap
Dishwashing liquid is a proven degreaser. Apply a few drops of liquid dish soap to the oil stain and gently work it with your fingers or a soft brush. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
The dish soap helps break down the oil at its core, making it easier to wash.
3. Sprinkle Baking Soda (Optional but Effective)
For extra absorption, sprinkle baking soda over the soapy area. Baking soda helps lift remaining oil and can be particularly effective on thicker fabrics. Let it sit for another 10–15 minutes before brushing it off.
4. Soak in Warm Water
After pre-treating, soak the garment in warm water for at least 30 minutes. Warm water helps loosen the oil from the fibers without damaging the fabric.
Avoid hot water, which can sometimes set the stain.
5. Wash with Ecosys Biodegradable Laundry Pods
Ecosys Detergent Capsule is infused with Bioenzyme known as Lipases. Lipases combat tough stains such as grease, fat and oil which are water-repellent and difficult to remove.Â
Lipases breakdown triglycerides into smaller, water-soluble molecules, allowing easy removal during washing
6. Check for Remaining Oil Residue Before Drying
Once washed, check the stained area. If the stain persists, repeat the process before drying.
Never machine-dry an oil-stained garment until the stain is gone, as heat will set the oil permanently.
