DIY Method:
For hardened oil accumulations, a homemade paste can be effective:
Baking Soda, Water, and Dish Detergent Paste: Create a paste with baking soda, water, and dish detergent (consistency similar to frosting). Apply it using a damp rag, scrubbing the affected area. This method is gentle and shouldn't scratch surfaces.
Immediate Action: For fresh stains, promptly scrape off excess grease, treat the area with liquid dish soap, and wash in the warmest water suitable for the fabric. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can set the stain.
Set-In Stains: For older stains, pre-soak the garment in warm water with a stain remover before washing. Refrain from drying until the stain is fully removed.
Always conduct a spot test in an inconspicuous area before applying any product or homemade solution to the entire stain to ensure it doesn't damage or discolor the material.
