Grease stains on white clothes can be a nightmare—like the one my son got from his bike chain recently.
Don't worry! As a parent who's tackled countless laundry mishaps, I have a reliable, grandma-approved method to banish oil stains from virtually any fabric, including white cotton.
The secret? Just half a lemon and your iron. Here's how it works:
1. Set up your ironing board and heat your iron.
2. Cut a fresh lemon in half.
3. Position the lemon half under the stained area of the garment.
4. Iron over the stain firmly to squeeze out the lemon juice.
5. Repeat a few times until the stain lifts completely.
Your grease stain will vanish right before your eyes! :-) This tried-and-true technique works wonders on white cotton T-shirts and shirts, jeans, beige pants, sweaters, synthetics, and even linen.
