How to Remove Set-in Grease Stains from Laundry

Grease stains are some of the most stubborn stains to remove. While it may be easy to throw away a garment you don’t particularly like or one that’s already worn out, it’s worth trying to save clothing you love.

One surprisingly effective way to remove grease stains is by using Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. It may seem unconventional, but it makes sense—if it can cut through grease on dishes, it can also help break down grease on fabric.

How to Use It

1. Apply the dish foam directly to the grease stain.
2. Let it sit for about 5 minutes (or longer for older, tougher stains).
3. Wash the garment as usual with your regular laundry detergent.
4. Repeat the process if necessary for stubborn stains.

This method works well on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, denim, and polyester, and can even help remove older, set-in grease stains. If you’re treating a delicate fabric, test the product on a small, hidden area first to make sure it won’t damage the material.

This simple trick can save you time and effort in the laundry room while giving your favorite clothes a second chance.
