How To Remove Oil Stains From Clothes?

To remove oil from fabrics that are machine washable, you need to tackle the stain quickly. To stop the stain from spreading through to the other side of the garment, take a clean paper towel or cloth and dab the oil stain, being careful not to spread the stain.
Pre-treating your oil stained items is important for best results. So, to effectively remove oil from clothes, you should use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel and follow these simple steps to see great results:

You can get stains out of silk the same way you would with normal clothes, so treat your silk items like a regular load of washing and add Vanish Gel. Prevent the spread of the oil and dab the stain with a clean cloth and follow the instructions above.

 

Important: Only use Vanish gel on delicate items like silk and wool. While our stain removers work on various fabrics, to remove oil stains from leather and oil stains from suede, please seek professional advice.

Avoid water: when dealing with cooking oil stains, it can be tempting to try and tackle them with water. However, oil stains are hydrophobic which means they repel water molecules. So only add water to the stain if you are treating it immediately with Vanish.
