It’s always a tricky chore to wipe out grease stains, right?
The worst part is that if not tended to fast enough, you’re left with this disgusting mess of oil and fat lingering around in your home. But relax! Here are a few easy ways to take care of them.
Move fast
When grease stains crash your party, time’s your homie. Act quick to make your life easier later.
For fresh stains on fabric, pat gently with a paper towel or cloth to soak up that grease. Take it easy, though. Scrubbing too hard could spread the mess.
Dish soap
Who thought dish soap could work magic outside the kitchen sink?
Dab a bit of that liquid gold on the stain and gently rub it with your fingertips or a soft brush. Let it chill for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
This works like a charm on clothes and upholstery.
Baking Soda
Baking soda isn’t just for baking cakes; it’s a superhero in the cleaning game.
For fabric stains, sprinkle that powder generously over the stain and let it hang out for 10-20 minutes. Brush it off and toss the fabric in the wash.
Got a tough spot? Mix baking soda with water to whip up a paste, smear it on the stain, let it chill, then give it a gentle scrub and wipe it clean.
White Vinegar
White vinegar is no slouch when it comes to the chore of having to wipe out grease stains.
It gets the job done, no sweat. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spritz it on the grease stain, let it kick it for a bit, then wipe it away with a clean cloth.
This method works best for kitchen counters and stovetops.
Cornstarch Carpet Revival
If your carpet’s taken a hit from grease, don’t fear; cornstarch has got your back.
Sprinkle that magic dust all over the stain and let it chill for several hours or overnight. Vacuum it up, and boom! You’ll see a big improvement. Repeat if needed.
With these wild techniques in your arsenal, you’ll wipe out grease stains like a pro and keep your home fresh and clean.
