How to clean motor oil stains on clothes

Friends who work in environments such as garages or machine rooms often encounter such situations. Even if they wear work clothes, they cannot completely avoid the phenomenon of organic oil stains on their clothes. Motor oil stains are a big problem in cleaning clothes. If the motor oil stains are not handled correctly, it is difficult to clean the clothes thoroughly. So what are some good ways to clean motor oil stains?

Grease stains are commonly known as oil stains, which are a type of stain that is insoluble in water. This type of stain should be removed from clothes by wiping or brushing with organic solvents such as solvent gasoline, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, alcohol, acetone, alumina, banana water, turpentine, benzene, etc. The shorter the time a stain stays on clothing, the easier it is to remove. Sometimes the material of the clothing will affect the stain removal effect, and once the stain has dried or has been improperly treated, it will be difficult to remove.

How to remove machine oil stains from clothes:

For lighter colored machine oil stains, you can brush them with gasoline and then place a piece of blotting paper or cloth above and below the oily stain on the clothing and iron it 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 multiple 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.

Through this introduction, I believe everyone can understand how to clean the engine oil stains on clothes. However, it should be noted that the water temperature must be appropriate during cleaning. Also, if there are engine oil stains on clothes, it is best to deal with them on the same day.
