How to get an oil stain out of a cotton shirt (even if it's been laundered and dried since)?

I see someone else has already mentioned this. I use Dawn dishwashing liquid. I make sure to rub it into the fabric very well.

Wash and dry again. I have done it several times to finally get the oil or grease out--but it usually works even after a couple of wash and dries.

Oil stains can be removed quite well with orange oil. Orange oil dissolves fat and is even washable. I use it myself to even remove tar spots.

I've heard that citrus oil (like citrus turpine) which is made from steamed distilled citrus oils acts as a natural solvent. Dab it on the stain and pull it out with a paper towel and a hot steam iron.

I use Goo Gone spray gel to get rid of labels, glue and sometimes oily substances. It just takes a little to spray the oil spot. Work it in a little and let set for 5-10 minutes before laundering.

This will work gooey, sticky and greasy problems. I get it at Walmart for around $4.00. This bottle has lasted me for over a year.

This will work on candle wax, gum, cleaning grills, crayon, and more.

There are a couple solutions to this problem, as I used to work in a restraunt kitchen. #1. Using a grease cutting dish soap is the best way to rid un-wanted oil stains from just about any clothing.

First you want to make sure the article of clothing is completely dry. Next you'll want to apply enough dish soap (preferably Dawn) to the area where the oil has been absorbed. After applying the dish soap you should use a soft bristle brush (an old tooth brush works best) tohelp the soap penetrate deep into the fabric.(you'll want to use short circular motions).

You also might want to let the garmet sit out over night to allow the soap to do its work more effectively. #2. I have also found that if you lay your garmet on a flat surface (i.e.

A counter top, top of dryer) and sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder onto the stain (enough to make a small pile) and let stand for atleast 12hrs, the dryness of the baby powder will actually suck the oil out of the fabric. I use this method more on high quality fabrics such as silk, polyester, and satin as they are more delicate and require a little more care.G.

I heard that dish derergent works. Make sure you rub that really well before you put it in the washer to wash.

When you get oil on your shirt, don't rub it with tissue or wash it, but instead quickly sprinkle the area with baby powder until it covers the oil, and leave it for 15 to 30 minutes. Then you can wash it.

Baby powder then dove soap hang to dry...gone.

Throw it away and go buy a new shirt ........................................................................................................................

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
