This video feels like it was made 30 years ago. It makes me feel like I’m back in grade school, in science class with the lights off, watching a Bill Nye episode on one of those big tube ol’ TVs that they’d roll in on a cart.
Important topic extremely well covered. I have used some of these methods with good results. Its bit scary to go the WD40 route, but it works incredibly well. Thanks guys. This kind of purely practical advice is really appreciated.
I use dish soap for all kinds of greasy food stains. Put it on the stain and throw it in the hamper until laundry day. For black dirty mechanic grease I used the hand cleaner my husband used to clean grease on his hands. Wash as usual.
Hello @Gentleman's Gazette, I saw your old " Avoid These Fountain Pen Mistakes " video and I need your help !!!! I want to switch to Fountain pens for eco-friendly reasons by not using non-durable pens made from plastics, but there's a problem to my writing style. What I mean to say is while writing I rotate my pen in my grip very often to relieve the pressure on my fingers for a couple of seconds, and that's okay with ball or roller ball pens but not with fountain pens as fountains have to be only in one position and which is not the case with ball pens as they can be written in whichever orientation i.e nib held down on the paper !!!!! I will be overjoyed if you guide me in making the switch for good reasons beneficial in a fractional extent from my part !!!!! Thanks in advance😄😄 !!!!!
Purchase a pen with a wider grip section and the need for rotation will disappear. Fountain pens unlike ballpoints write without any pressure applied by simple use of capillary action reducing hand stress to begin with.
@@HistoricGentleman Came here to post a similar answer. 😄 @AngeloDestin_Official - If you're experiencing so much pressure that it requires you to frequently change your grip, then I imagine you're gripping your pens far too tightly, which makes me wonder why - narrow barrels? Habit? Tense writer, perhaps? Find a pen with nibs that offer you a good flow - my Mont Blanc fitted with a broad nib writes effortlessly, but test-drive several until you discover a pen and nib that really suit you. Best of luck in your search. 🖋
Bit of an odd ball but I think a video about grooming below the belt would be appreciated, talking about shaving/ trimming products as well as anything to keep fresh and ready for after party 🧐 like if you agree.
I'm a train operator and my work shirts look awful. We get grease, steel dust, sweat, mystery fluids and whatever else is on the train or walls inside the subway tunnels on our clothes. Any thoughts on what I can do to make my shirts look like they should? They're white shirts with blue gray stripes, at least they used to be. Now they're yellow and brown and just look dirty even when they're clean. Help
Could this include ball point pens as they are _oil based_ not like today's Gell pens, roller ball and fountain pens, which are water based inks! I believe that ball point pens oil is from the same place as petrol - oil - as the same with engine grease! Oh I do have vinyl grease as well - 33rpm 😃
A gentleman should always wear a well fitting apron while cooking. An apron will save so very many headaches when dealing with grease. It's an easy step to take and they are inexpensive. If they get grease stains you can be a little more aggressive with the removal. Even then if the stain can't come out, if it won't transfer to your clothes then who cares it's an apron. That's it's job, to keep you clean.
Aprons certainly are a sartorial life-saver when it comes to cooking! Accidents do still happen, even when care is taken, so hopefully the video is useful for those moments 😉
@@221b-Maker-Street Yes it may work, not plain water, but with some dish washing liquid or liquid soap of course. My idea is that keep the _stain" away form air as long as possible, until one gets the chance to wash it!
@@221b-Maker-Street Also it depends on the stain, *water based.* or *oil based.* Most water based - _fresh - not dry_ - stain can come out with plain water, I have tried it, it does work!
@@jonathonshanecrawford1840 Yes, though your question was under a video specifically about removing *grease stains,* so my answer about the ineffectiveness of water was directly relating to an oily stain. Water-based stains - unless the substance has a dye-like property, for example tomato, turmeric, or beetroot - are nearly always easier to remove, I agree.
@@221b-Maker-Street You talking about food stains? Yes correct, 90% are removable, I t is a good idea to carry a spare shirt for formal events, or when/where ever that may be a chance of a stain occurring! Today we can buy small bottles, that we can fill with say dish soap, in case there's a spill (possible stain). If course this is about medium -> large possible stains, Not India ink, that's near impossible to remove like some fountain pen inks, when dry, the garment is buggered!
It's so easy to get grease on everything while working with a rotary hammer that I've just accepted that I'll always have black hands and clothes on work days.
May i request that you guys cut out the constant music in the background and the movie clips etc? Not everyone enjoys these things and they do get a little bit unpleasant after some time. I hope you guys will understand and do something about it.
Thanks for the feedback - the numbers prove that videos are far more successful with the backing music, which means more people are able to benefit from the tips, guides, and insights we provide on the channel.
You guys are legends. Thank you for putting the time into helping people learn about classic menswear.
Couldn't agree more
Thanks, guys! Stains are the bane of my existence. It’s always great to know how to take care of the things we have!
Thank you so much, this has truly been the saving grace for my favorite dress shirt. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work.
This is very useful. I hope I never need to see this again, but I am afraid I will. I am just glad this is here. Thanks!!!

Your speaker is hysterical! I paid so much attention to his speaking voice I forgot what he said.
You have saved my 2014 Presidents of the United States of America concert tee shirt. All of my appreciation, sir.
Do you have to wash in washing machine directly after you use the cleaning recipe? Or can you hand wash items with hand?
Veo estos videos subtitulados al español, son muy buenos. preston es una persona muy agradable, me cae bien
My inner chemist wishes to point out that petroleum is organic.

Would it work on melt cheese stain on tablecloth?
Wd-40 worked instantly on grease .. my stain was on denim and fresh and unwashed .
Okay but can I get the stain to vanish if I already washed the shirt once? It's cotton though, and I already dried it too

Vanilla fragrance in summer? Probably not a great choice for the temperature or time of day.
How about on colored sweat shirt

_Bit of an odd ball._
Ah, good evening Mr Freud, we've been expecting you... 😳
I clicked this not because I don’t know how to remove stains, but because I saw Preston’s beard and was impressed at how good it looked 😂.
I have had good luck with WD40 where other products have failed. But as recommended in the video, test on an inconspicuous spot first.

hi, has the team ever thought about doing an "is it worth it" on Bills Khakis?
love the content throughout the years, keep it coming!
Stay tuned for some upcoming content related to Bills!

Is it good idea to _"Soak"_ the garment in water, until one gets the chance to wash the garment?
I doubt it, as using only water means you have zero emulsifier.

I think your sprouting beard works well for you.
What about Grass stains on light cloth?
I'm literally sitting here with tide stick on my white t shirt for a coffee stain😂
14:25 how?
Generally speaking, it might be an idea not wearing a suit and long sleeve dress shirt while doing stain removal.
Just cook without clothes - problem solved!!!
Very bold of you guys to use any Disney owned property in your video.
Video too long
Is 15m, how is that long!?
That face at the beginning
This thumbnail is extremely goofy.

@@gentlemansgazette alright.
Preston not to be rude but you need to shave, you would look like my dad if you had a buzzcut
