One of the best hacks for grease stains I’ve found is generously sprinkling baby powder over the spots (on still dry clothing) rub it in to make sure it’s covering the stain and let it sit overnight. Toss it in the wash the next morning and the stains are always gone.
I’m so happy to hear it worked for you! I love that you can still apply this method after you’ve dried the article of clothing. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Yahoo!!! It worked. I paid attention to how you had to do a second round by being extra attentive to the spots by putting Dawn on the spots then cover the whole area with baking soda. I used a nail brush to carefully brush the whole area. You saved a brand new dress I bought for the summer. Thank you thank you!! 😊
Hello good sir, I just wanted to tell you, that I tried the method that you suggested, with the difference that I left the solution for several hours before putting it in the washing machine. It worked like a charm, one of my favorite dressy outfits was saved thanks to this home hack. Thank you so much!
I saw your video and tried your method. I got oil splatter on two of my almost new, favorite t-shirts. Success! Though I did leave my t-shirts with Dawn and baking soda 3-4 days to penetrate. I only did the treatment once but I took my time with a tooth brush gently scrubbing over and over on the spots. Do not scrub too hard so not to break fabric fibers or create pilling. You saved me from throwing my two shirts away. Thank you so much! Gave you thumbs up and subscribed.
Thank you for the video! We all have to share tips to help each other! For me...The original blue Dawn is the best for removing grease on its own! I bought a Nike collegiate hoodie dirt cheap bc it had grease stains all over it and laid it on my kitchen counter and soaked it in blue Dawn and let it sit for days and then tossed it in the wash. It came out almost 100% clean. I retreated some areas and used my fingernails to scrub a little and now it's perfect. I have used Dawn, white vinegar and baking soda to remove underarm stains on some shirts and it works!
Instead of putting in the washer I just filled the sink with water and put laundry soap on the stained area but like a lot of soap 😂 I scrubbed the stain just rubbing the fabric together and air-dried. It is perfect now! Thank you so much for these tips!
Came back to this to say thank you. You saved my $150 RRL Henley from an oil based hair product bottle that came unscrewed in my suitcase. I did the dish soap and baking soda just like you said. The only small difference is that I put the detergent on top and let them all sit together instead of rubbing in the detergent prior to the wash. They sat rolled up for about four days and I only had to send it through once. This is a life-hack that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
AWESOME! Thanks for stopping back by to share, Davin - I’m so glad it helped you. I know how expensive RRL clothing is, so I would have been freaking out in your position. Baking soda has so many uses, it’s crazy. Thanks again for sharing your success story with me and for watching!
If anybody here has a blow dryer just get warmish water in the stain area and really rub it in with a rag, then use a blow dryer to dry that small patch of grease and it’s literary all gone, takes a few minutes and you’ll be on ur way 4:50 for me this is just too tremendous
@@judymccluskey4563 def bs . I just got Grease on my shirt today and used warmish water with some laundry detergent that couldn’t even get it out. Anything warm almost seals the stain in your clothes
@@gcfun WOW!!! It worked on a new top that I had recently gotten grease on. So, I took another top that I had gotten grease on about a year ago and tried it with that one and it worked!!! I have a closet full of tops like that! Did I say ... thank you very much?
Yes, but you may have to repeat the steps a few more times depending on the results. Even if it’s been through the dryer, this can still work but may require you to rinse and repeat (literally) a few more times to achieve the desired results. Good luck!
Saved me a sweatshirt! Phew! I was embroidery machining a sweatshirt. I’m going to try on my old sweatshirts!!! I wonder if it only works if it is freshly greased only.
Glad this info helped you! It should work even with grease stains that have set in. Might just take multiple rounds of using this method. Thanks for watching!
i wish youtube was this informative when i was buying/flipping supreme clothes in 2014, even took it to the dry cleaners and they couldn't work with the grease
Bro just bought an expensive sweater in light blue and got grease my first time wearing it. I tried hand washing it with tide and the dam stain still didn’t come out. I didn’t dry it so I’m hoping there’s still hope to get it out but I’m ready to go to the dry cleaner I’m dealing with one spot that bugs me it’s smaller than a dime.
Oh no! Yep - because you didn't dry it, there's still hope! Try the baking soda and dish soap method I outline here! It may take a few times like it did for me, but you should be able to get it out! It isn't cashmere, is it? That might change things...
Do you have hard water? We do, and i have found by adding a teaspoon of citric acid as my softener, my clothes come out cleaner and definitely soft. My towels are way more absorbent, too. I'm just wondering if adding citric acid would help with getting the oil stains out?
I’m in GA and I’ve always heard we have soft water. The citric acid tip is of interest, I’ll have to try it out! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
@@gcfun I used to live in Sandy Springs and like most of GA we had clay like where I live in MD. You are most likely on public water whereas I’m on a well.
Thanks for this video! Seems simple and easy. I can't wait to try this out! My husband works with a grill and his work clothes has so much grease stains. I could not figure out what to do with it!
Would this work with colored clothing? I have a blue hoodie I just bought that I regrettably got a couple little grease stains on. Don’t wanna ruin it even further on accident 😢
You should be good! The only consideration would be for clothing with dye that can rub off (think denim). I’d recommend you try a small, unassuming area first. Good luck and thanks for watching!
For your situation, add more baking soda for sure. Unrelated, but I have another video on sharpening knives. Idk why, but I feel like you may find it useful. Good luck!
@@gcfun Thanx. Cuz friday the 13th is coming up faat. How would it look to my next victim, coming out of the shaows with a pre-bloodstained clownsuit on? [SMH] The shame.
I didn't see the splatter until I had washed and dried my long sleeved tee shirt. Took it out of drier and there the stains were. Would this method work to get stains out? Thanks
Yes, but you may have to repeat the method a few times after going through the dryer cycle. The heat from the dryer will set a stain into the clothing. But as I said, it should work but may take a few times trying out this method. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Idk if it's the cooking oil that's being used to cook in my food or what, but recently have been noticing these stains on my clothes that look like dark water patches that are permanently there and theyre getting on all of my clothes...gues they must be oil stains. I'm going to try this out.
It depends on the material, but I would say in most/next to all cases no, it won’t. If it’s a garmet dyed or raw denim type material, maybe just given the nature of those textiles. But these being common household items, they aren’t harmful to most, I hope this helps! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, my lad came home with oil and whatever was on the tyre It was new and he got it All over his brand new top ( it was bright yellow and I did what you suggested. The first time to took the most of it out and the same again and they was no oil stain. Again A big thank you
In my experience, no. But I guess there might be a material out there that it could (just an example but I’m thinking like silk or something along those lines). It’s a pretty harmless cleaning agent though. Sorry that’s not more definitive - thanks for watching!
My gf got me a red tommy hill sweater and I accidentally got a bit of grease on it💔 if I do this will my sweater turn a lighter color in these areas by using dish soap?
Iv got a pair of blue joggers that I stained cooking meatballs, I tried washing it then drying on the radiator. But the the stains still there, is it too late to try this method?
I’m honestly unsure, but it can’t hurt to try! Also, to clarify, use baking soda - I think baking powder is a whole different product. You will still want to use dish soap as a degreaser, then apply the baking soda and let it sit and do it’s thing before you wash. Feel free to keep me posted on how it goes. 🤞🏻 Good luck and thanks for watching!
For ink, try rubbing alcohol. I first learned about this trick using hair spray, but the essential component to help remove ink is the alcohol. It may take a few washes, but I have had considerable luck with it. As for acrylic paint, from my quick Googling, it seems alcohol may be able to take care of it also. Doesn't hurt to try! You could use nail polish remover, alcohol-based hair spray or straight rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
It should still work, but may require sitting longer or more applications. It can be annoying, but rewarding if you have the patience! Good luck and thanks for watching!
I’d try it! But let it air dry and don’t run it in the dryer afterwards. The heat from the dryer makes it set in. If it doesn’t work, repeat the process by itself (which you may have to do anyway, depending on how bad the stain is). Hope it helps and works for you!
I've got orange stains, I tried a stain remover then a resolve wash and it's mostly gone, I'm just going to keep repeating that and maybe let the sun bleach it
It's really difficult to keep track of all the the grease spots once you get scrubbing. Before I apply the baking soda and detergent I circle each of the spots with a Sharpie or fabric marker. Saves a lot of time.
Thanks for watching and sharing - that’s a good tip! I’m genuinely interested in the Sharpie part of your comment. Are you seriously using a Sharpie, or do they make a fabric/washable version I don’t know about?
@@gcfun it really only saves time because then you can proceed directly to throwing the garment out without even washing it, because the permanent ink will never wash out.
Hi Andrew, yes it should. The only potential issue would be if you ran it through the dryer. The heat sets those stains in, but all that would equate to is going through the process a few more times. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Hi Domi! Are you referencing the sweatshirt in my video, or your own clothing after trying this method? If you’re referencing my shirt, it actually didn’t lose color and may just be the lighting. If you’re talking about your own clothing, it shouldn’t have lost color due to this method - especially since I only used common, safe household products. Let me know, I’m happy to help if possible!
It should work with any color shirt! As outlined in the video, you may have to do it a few times. I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching and good luck! 🤞🏻
these are all my shirts each laundry day, i need an easy to put on/take off chef's apron. the cleaner companies need to start selling a jumbo bottle and formulation for just us greasers, thats a lot of effort for just the one sweater, id have like 29 more to go, lucky these are all horribly tacky novelty shirts for house pajamas anyway
DeanRendar84 I hear ya! It definitely takes some work and is not sustainable to do all the time. I’m not aware of an effective, off-the-shelf product that works as well though. 🤷🏼♂️ I’d be more than happy to try one though!
JUST A HEADS UP - if you scrub too hard you’ll lift the dye of your clothing out as well as the stain. I learned this the hard way on my favorite sweatshirt. Life. Goes. On…?
Yes, it should work on most fabrics/colors. Just be cognizant of any fabrics with dyes that transfer (think denim) when using this method. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Really? Dang. Was it some kind of garment dyed material? Sorry, I don’t have any tips for that right now but will look into it and let you know if I come across anything,
@@gcfun yea it’s actually a Adidas x Daniel Patrick Grey hoodie I believe I scrubbed it to hard and the color kinda faded out on the spot, I wonder if i were to re dye it if it would somehow bring it back to how it was. But yea that’s my fault, They method you showed works great just messed up on my end haha
Damn, I just took it out the washer before coming across this video. The stains are still there but now my shirt is moist. Should I use this technique now or wait for the washed shirt to fry before applying your method
I don't understand why you washed the sweatshirt in cold water... Wouldn't it work better to wash the garment in hot water? I must be missing something
@@elmao4927 yeah, I think it’s somewhat preferential. I distinctly remember a few articles of mine shrinking when washing with warm water. Then I made the switch and only use cold water now. Whatever floats your boat. Then there are times that you need warm water to help bust up a stain, but for me when I do regular washing, I just use cold. 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks! My mom has this really cute pair of pink pants and she decided to use them for WORK PANTS😒 I’m going to rescue them because they’re cute and I want them but I need to get the grease out first😭
Sorry to hear that. What kind of material are your clothes? Baking soda is a safe ingredient for most fabrics, which is even why it’s in a lot of detergents.
I know this is a delayed response and you may have gotten your answer, but that’s a good question. I would say it’s worth a try considering these are everyday household items that aren’t harmful.
It’s preferable that you don’t dry the garment, because the heat from the dryer can set the stain in. I think you can still get out the grease, but it may take a few more rounds of the method I outlined in my video. I hope it works for you!

Nice! That’s a good tip. Makes sense that it would have a similar affect to the baking soda. I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
Seems like you could use plain cornstarch too as that's the main ingredient in many modern baby powders.
Tried this. Didn’t work. Maybe I didn’t use strong enough detergent???
i’m trying this.
@@sweetesthoneybeeI think it may only work on new stains, if you’ve washed the garment multiple times it’s likely already set in the cotton.
You're a lifesaver. I used this method on a shirt with a grease stain I had already washed & dried & it still worked. Thank you!

Hi Domi! Are you referencing the sweatshirt in my video, or your own clothing after trying this method? If you’re referencing my shirt, it actually didn’t lose color and may just be the lighting. If you’re talking about your own clothing, it shouldn’t have lost color due to this method - especially since I only used common, safe household products. Let me know, I’m happy to help if possible!
Does it work with white t shirts
Also just tried to so hopefully it works 🤞
It should work with any color shirt! As outlined in the video, you may have to do it a few times. I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching and good luck! 🤞🏻
Good tip. Works well. Saves having to replace your clothes
Glad to hear it worked out for you. Thanks for watching!
does this work on dried stains tho
It should, give it a whirl!
these are all my shirts each laundry day, i need an easy to put on/take off chef's apron. the cleaner companies need to start selling a jumbo bottle and formulation for just us greasers, thats a lot of effort for just the one sweater, id have like 29 more to go, lucky these are all horribly tacky novelty shirts for house pajamas anyway
DeanRendar84 I hear ya! It definitely takes some work and is not sustainable to do all the time. I’m not aware of an effective, off-the-shelf product that works as well though. 🤷🏼♂️ I’d be more than happy to try one though!
JUST A HEADS UP - if you scrub too hard you’ll lift the dye of your clothing out as well as the stain. I learned this the hard way on my favorite sweatshirt. Life. Goes. On…?
Totally joking by the way I’ll get over it!
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that was your experience and led you astray!
Does it work with black?
Yes, it should work on most fabrics/colors. Just be cognizant of any fabrics with dyes that transfer (think denim) when using this method. Thanks for watching and good luck!
I've had great success by vigorously rubbing a wet bar of Sunlight on the grease-spot prior to washing. Also took me 2 cycles, but it was very easy
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Will this work after I already washed it?
@@steve4321able yes, but it may take a couple of cycles
I love the results although it got cleaner area.. I wouldn’t say it ruined my shirt it just made it brighter
Is it ok if I use the 4x dawn platnium?
Yes, it doesn’t matter so long as it’s some type of degreaser
Just tried it can’t believe it worked really well Ty!!!
I did this method but i guess i scrubbed it to hard now the grease spot is a faded spot on a grey hoodie, any recommendations how to fix that?
Really? Dang. Was it some kind of garment dyed material? Sorry, I don’t have any tips for that right now but will look into it and let you know if I come across anything,
@@gcfun yea it’s actually a Adidas x Daniel Patrick Grey hoodie I believe I scrubbed it to hard and the color kinda faded out on the spot, I wonder if i were to re dye it if it would somehow bring it back to how it was. But yea that’s my fault, They method you showed works great just messed up on my end haha
Same here ☹️ don’t scrub too hard
Jackson Pollock
Oh, a fellow sophisticate
Just dropped a bagel with butter on my new hoodie from my boyfriend 🙈. Fingers crossed this works!!
Thoroughly rinse it off first. Then follow this method and keep me posted! 🤞🏻
Damn, I just took it out the washer before coming across this video. The stains are still there but now my shirt is moist. Should I use this technique now or wait for the washed shirt to fry before applying your method
No need to wait! You can apply this method now. You may need to do it a couple of times. Hope it works for you.
@@gcfun hey This worked!!! I left it over night( it was night when I commented) and it worked
I used blue dish soap and now I have blue stains on my t-shirt
Make sure it’s rinsing well.
I literally bought a new hoodie then spilt garlic sauce on it and it made grease stays in so pissed this shut better work 😭
I don't understand why you washed the sweatshirt in cold water... Wouldn't it work better to wash the garment in hot water? I must be missing something
Hot water makes clothing shrink
@@Inmate533 yep, this is why I always wash stuff in cold water! Thanks for watching!
I always wash my clothes on 30 °C and it works fine?
@@elmao4927 yeah, I think it’s somewhat preferential. I distinctly remember a few articles of mine shrinking when washing with warm water. Then I made the switch and only use cold water now. Whatever floats your boat. Then there are times that you need warm water to help bust up a stain, but for me when I do regular washing, I just use cold. 🤷🏼♂️
@@gcfun I guess it's better for the environment as well so I'll try it sometime :)
Should I wash the greased clothes alone or am I able to wash it with others?
You can wash them with other clothes.
SHOULD you air dry or can you use the machine?
Some people say the heat from the dryer will set stains in, which is why my preference is to air dry
@@gcfun the method worked and got the stain out thank you! I used the machine tho, Used medium setting just to be sure
@@useless2825 awesome, so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Does this work for old grease stains
I can’t say for sure, but you can try it! Let me know how it goes if you do.
Does this work on nylon jackets ?
I would think so although I’ve never tried it. It can’t hurt to try it!
What about jeans
Yes, if you follow the same steps, it should work for jeans. Hope it helps!
I’m gonna try this, I already did it and it’s sitting now. So I’ll update in a few hours
Update: IT WORKED HOLY SHIT 😭😭
I hope it works for you! 🤞🏻
Does this work on stains of life?
Maybe so.
Thanks! My mom has this really cute pair of pink pants and she decided to use them for WORK PANTS😒 I’m going to rescue them because they’re cute and I want them but I need to get the grease out first😭
Hope the video helps - thanks for watching!
Thank you! And I appreciate your honesty😀
Thanks for watching!
Why cold water over hold water!??!
I generally use cold water, as warm or hot water can potential shrink cotton garments.
Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda.....
No. Very different.
@@gcfun But I tried and it works in my jacket.
@@walingvlogs6711 really? Well that’s great! I’ll have to remember that.
I spilt food on my Dare shirt and I guess it's working. thanks for the tips
rub some cocaine and bleach on it and the grease stain will magically disappear
This worked for me. Thanks!
Awesome, glad it worked! Thanks for watching.
Yeah used baking soda and it fucked in my clothes
Sorry to hear that. What kind of material are your clothes? Baking soda is a safe ingredient for most fabrics, which is even why it’s in a lot of detergents.
For the second time, did you put detergent on when you let is rest for a few days
Yes, I reapplied detergent with the baking soda each time. Thanks for watching, I hope the video helps!
Does this work with chapstick stains as well?
I know this is a delayed response and you may have gotten your answer, but that’s a good question. I would say it’s worth a try considering these are everyday household items that aren’t harmful.
Going to try this tonight, just got a grease stain on my Astros Jersey 😭
Good luck! Let me know how it turns out and thanks for watching.
does this work even after heavy dryer cycle? does this damage the clothing some?
It’s preferable that you don’t dry the garment, because the heat from the dryer can set the stain in. I think you can still get out the grease, but it may take a few more rounds of the method I outlined in my video. I hope it works for you!
