I can be very clutsy when it comes to spilling things, especially food… Greasy Food. I ruin many a shirt with grease, and it frustrates me. I recently washed a brand new shirt, only worn once, and when it dryed it had grease stains all over it. I was so frustrated until my sister told me a cleaning tip which saved my new shirt, and will probably save many to come. 🙂
If you have an old grease stain on your shirt (one that has sat in the laundry, or been washed) that won’t come out, spray the stain with WD-40. This renews the grease in the shirt and brings it back to the surface. Then put Dawn Dish liquid on it (which duh! Cuts grease!) and wash in the washing machine. It saved my shirt.
Thanks Jo for that tip!
Well sisters are good for something. Especially yours.
Thanks for the tip. David has this problem often.
Also…today on Martha Stewart…she said if you catch the grease stain early you put cornstarch or talcum powder on it and brush the excess away. Then wash. Cool huh? Love you.
What a great tip! Thanks. I will have to remember that. 🙂
