Grease stains can be a real nuisance. They can destroy carpets, furniture, vehicle seats, clothing, and who knows what else. It’s terrible when you damage the interior of your home with such unsightly spots. Furthermore, because they soak in and cling, they invite a slew of dangerous germs into your house. It’s considerably worse if you live in a rented house. You don’t want to lose your security deposit because of a few spills. And we all know that grease, whether fresh or dry, can be challenging to work with. That is why we have created this foolproof advice on how to remove grease stains properly.
What to Do Before Starting the Process
Before we begin cleaning, let’s go through the supplies you’ll need. You can ensure that you have everything on hand this way.
• A Vacuum Cleaner
• A roll of kitchen paper or other absorbent paper
• Dishwashing soap (any brand will suffice)
• Talcum powder/baking soda
• A clean cloth for washing and another for drying
• Scrubbing brush with a soft bristle
• A diluted ammonia solution
How to Remove Dried Grease Stains Correctly
We’ll start with dried oil stains because they’re commonly overlooked. You never know where or what your children have gotten their greasy hands on. Even though it can be difficult, don’t panic; here’s how to clean rugs, furniture, and other materials:
1. Grab your kitchen towel and a bowl of hot, soapy water.
2. Dampen the stain and then use dry, absorbent towels to remove as much of it as possible.
3. It’s now time to use your baking soda. Sprinkle a good quantity over the stain and leave it for about an hour.
4. It’s time to vacuum up the leftovers.
5. Using a clean towel, wipe away the soapy, hot water. Then set aside to dry.
6. There should only be faint remnants of the stain at this stage. It’s time to get your ammonia solution ready.
7. 1 teaspoon of household ammonia and a 1/4 cup warm water are recommended.
8. Take a cloth and begin blotting softly. If the cloth is not water-resistant, avoid soaking the region.
9. Begin cleaning the area with a scrubbing brush, exerting slight pressure. Take care not to harm the fabric.
10. That should get the job done. Get a clean basin of water and a new, clean towel to cleanse the spot thoroughly. Then, take a dry towel and absorb as much of the extra moisture as you can.
Cleaning Fresh Grease Stains Correctly
Get some paper towels if you were lucky enough to detect the stain in time. Soak up as much grease as you can, but whatever you do, don’t rub. For 20 minutes, cover the area with a paper towel.
Now liberally apply your baking soda/talcum powder to the stain.
Clean up your dry component using a vacuum.
If the stain is still visible, it’s time to break out the dishwashing liquid. Squirt a slight amount onto the spill and dab with a wet towel.
The cloth should now be rinsed and blotted dry using an absorbent towel.
