This quick tutorial will show you how to instantly and completely remove oil stains from clothes using common household materials such as liquid dish detergent and white vinegar.

Steps

1. 1 Cover the entire oil stain with liquid dish soap. It is preferable to use a colorless detergent. If you are using a colored cleaner, be sure to dilute it before use, otherwise the cleaner may stain your clothes.
2. 2 Rub the product gently into the stain. You will instantly see how it dissolves. Newer dishwashing detergents have properties that allow them to absorb grease.
3. 3 Rinse the area with white vinegar to remove all of the cleaner.
4. 4 Wash as usual.
5. 5 For particularly stubborn oil stains, repeat steps 1-3. Even a motor boat engine oil stain on a white polo can be removed with this method.
6. 6 Enjoy your clean clothes!

Tips

• The method also works on stains that have already been washed.
• Be sure to dilute detergents that are bright in color.
• Colorless cleaners work best.
• Repeat until the stain is completely removed.

Warnings

• Detergents with bright colors will leave a mark on lightly colored clothes.
