How to remove oil stains

There are many ways to remove oil stains, but if we want to completely clean the oil stains, we need certain skills and patience, so it is recommended that you learn more about the methods of removing oil stains. For common animal and plant oil stains, we can use organic solvents to dissolve the oil stains, and then put the clothes in water to clean them. In addition, I have to wipe the oily areas repeatedly, especially for oil stains that have been there for a long time.

1. Removal of animal and plant oil stains: Animal and plant oil stains are common stains on clothing and are also a type of polar liquid stains. This type of stain should be removed by wiping or brushing with organic solvents such as solvent gasoline, tetrachloroethylene, etc. When scrubbing, use a towel or cotton cloth to absorb the stain solution wiped off in time to remove it from the surface of the clothes. Prevent some stains from remaining on the surface of clothes after the solution evaporates, which will leave marks on the surface of clothes. If marks appear, they can be removed by repeated wiping or brushing over a larger area. You can also apply water to the stained area of ​​the clothes and spray it off with a high-pressure spray gun.

2. Removing tung oil stains: Tung oil is a viscous vegetable oil that is not easy to dry and is difficult to remove once it sticks to clothes. You can use gasoline or kerosene to scrub it, so that the tung oil will dissolve and be removed, and then use alcohol soap to remove the traces left behind. It is best to wash the clothes again with detergent after removing the stains to completely remove the traces.

3. Removing butter stains: Butter is a viscous animal fat and can be scrubbed with toluene or carbon tetrachloride solvent. The traces left can be removed with a mixture of alcohol and ammonia water, or with alcohol soap.

4. Removal of machine oil stains: For lighter colored machine oil stains, you can use gasoline to brush them, and then place a piece of blotting paper or cloth on the upper and lower parts of the oily stain on the clothes, and iron them with an iron to make the oil evaporate further and be absorbed by the paper or cloth. Repeat this process of changing the paper or cloth and ironing several times until all the oil stains are absorbed. Finally, wash with detergent and rinse with clean water. For dark-colored machine oil stains, they must be rinsed with high-quality gasoline, then ironed with blotting paper or cloth to absorb, and finally rinsed with warm water.

Regarding the methods of removing oil stains introduced in this article, I believe that you who are good at housekeeping should all know how to clean oil stains.
