No matter how careful you are when eating, you will inevitably encounter the dilemma of sauce or food splashing on your clothes. Once oil stains are on clothes, traces often remain even after washing. A woman who has worked in the clothing industry for more than 20 years shared a simple and time-saving trick on Instagram. She can remove oil stains in a few seconds using a cheap household item without having to wash the entire garment.
Christina Marcano, who has worked in the apparel industry for more than 20 years, said that when she was working in a factory, she learned a magical stain removal method from her employees that was effective immediately. It's very simple. Just sprinkle baby powder on the oil stain and gently rub it with a clean part of your clothes to absorb it.

In less than 1 minute after Marcano’s demonstration, the oil stains on the T-shirt completely disappeared. After she put it on again, there were almost no traces. The whole dress seemed brand new, and there was no need to throw it in the washing machine to clean it.

Just like it can absorb oil from the skin, it can also "absorb" oil stains from clothing. As soon as the post came out, netizens exclaimed: "It's amazing" and "I want to buy it immediately". Some people also added corn flour to be equally effective.
If the oil stain is stubborn, deep cleaning is more effective.If the baby powder method is not effective, or the oil stain is large, you can follow the following steps to remove it:
1. Absorb the oil first: Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the oil stain, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then brush it off to allow the powder to absorb excess oil.
2. Pretreatment: Drop a small amount of dishwashing detergent on the stain and rub it gently with your fingers or a soft brush. Dishwashing detergent effectively breaks down grease.
3. Let stand: Let the dishwashing liquid stay for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Normal cleaning: Follow the instructions on the clothing label, and use the highest water temperature that the material can withstand with general laundry detergent.
5. Check before drying: Before putting it in the dryer, confirm whether the oil stains are completely removed; if it remains, repeat the above steps to avoid heat fixing the oil stains.
