How to wash off the motor oil from clothes

Recently, I got a lot of engine oil on my body when I was riding a bike. After I got home, I couldn't wash it off no matter how hard I tried. I used half a bag of laundry detergent but it still couldn't be cleaned. Engine oil is the most difficult to clean. If clothes are not cleaned thoroughly, it is most likely to leave oil stains. What method can be used to wash off engine oil stains on clothes? Here I will introduce to you some good tips. I hope this cleaning method can thoroughly wash off the engine oil on clothes.

1. Motor oil is a mixture of several hydrocarbons and is an organic substance. According to the principle of like dissolves like, we can also use organic matter to dissolve motor oil, but it is best that the organic matter we choose can also be soluble in water to avoid secondary pollution. The most convenient choice is alcohol, which is soluble in both organic solvents and water. Of course, the higher the alcohol concentration, the better, and anhydrous alcohol is best. Alcohol is available in pharmacies or chemical stores.

2. Wash with gasoline first and then with detergent.

① Oil stains on clothes can be scrubbed with rosin water, banana oil, gasoline, etc., then soak them in 3% salt water for a few minutes and then rinse with clean water.

② If silk jewelry is stained with oil, you can gently rub it with acetone solution.

③ Oil stains on dark clothes can be removed by rubbing them with leftover tea leaves.

④ Mix a little toothpaste with laundry detergent and rub the mixture to remove the grease stains on clothes.

⑤ Take a little flour, mix it into a paste, apply it on the front and back of the oil stains on the clothes, dry it in the sun, peel off the paste shell, and the oil stains can be removed.

If the engine oil on clothes is not cleaned for a long time, it is most likely to damage the clothes. You can use the above method to clean it. The material of each piece of clothing is also different. Once there is engine oil on the clothes, you can try to wipe it with gasoline and then wipe it with a soft cloth. It will definitely be washed off. You can also try to clean it with wind oil essence, which is also very effective.
