Comments on: How to Remove Oil or Grease Stains From Fabric

on 6/22/2009 I tried doing the steps provided but the stain is still there. It is on my sofa cushion and it is cooking oil. I caught it when the stain was fresh. Do you have any other ideas?

on 5/12/2009 My son has just become an auto technician and he comes home with his work clothes covered in grease and oil. I can get out most of the stuff, but too much stays behind. Help please what can I do to get it all out?

on 2/26/2009 Hi,I'm Anupam. My new Woodland shoes had got Engine Oil stain, while getting my bike serviced.I was really very worried and then checked on Google and got to know about this site and the suggestion.Initially, I felt that it wil not work.But, upon reaching home from office, I tried to remove it with Nail Paint remover,but it made it worse and spread the spot to other parts too.Next day, I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I tried spreading Talcum powder over it and just brushed it.To my surprise, it just cleaned that part immediately, leaving no mark.I'm grateful for such a nice suggestion.God bless you.Best regards,Anupam

on 10/13/2008 Thx SO MUCH "Fizzlebaby"!!!! This is my 1st time on this site. I've got this really cute jacket. It looks like a denim jacket, but it's not. It's a sort of off white (IVORY KINDA)color & I had this big line of GREASE on the back of it FOR SO LONG. So I happen to check out this site & thought about what YOU posted & it made total sense to me. I JUST DID IT & I'M SO HAPPY TO SAY IT WORKED.
Oh yeah, I've not "joined" this site so I'm not sure if this will post for everyone to see, but I hope so. That was a really smart idea & I see that lots of people a kind enough to offer their time to post such great ideas.
Thanks again,
I guess I'll call myself, hmmmm, lets see...

THANKS AGAIN "FIZZ"!!!!!

on 9/30/2008 I just bougth a brand new Columbia Jacket and it's pink - My daugher some how got Bike Greace on the back.. Any suggestion to get it out...

on 9/28/2008 To get the wax out of carpet..... Get a PAPER bag, and iron..... and iron the wax off by placing the paper bag over the spot and iron slowly.... You will have to do this several times... but it will get the wax out of your carpet....

on 9/9/2008 If you rub in a little bit of dish detergent on the stain and wash as normal it should take the stain right out. Sounds werid right? But its not. If you think about it dish detergent is made to tackle tough stains and remove them effectively. So why not on your clothing? . I found it works well. It takes the stain right out for me everytime.

on 8/20/2008 My son and his friends spilled a candle that has oil on the top of it on my carpet. Tried many things cann't get it off.

on 8/7/2008 Forgot to say in last comment that its a mega nasty looking Oil stain??

on 2/6/2008 does anyone know please how to get oil stain out of a "dry clean" only garment...polyester mixed trousers.
Many thanks!

on 11/25/2007 The baby powder totally worked! I just removed a huge oil stain from my new couch. I was so upset that my new couch had a huge stain. I put the baby powder on and let it set for several hours. Vacuumed it off and the stain is 95% gone! I am thrilled! I didnt even need the pretreatment or the hot water

on 11/10/2007 I'm so glad I saw this site; I wore my brand new, really, really, really, really lovely, never been worn jacket today and promptly got salad oil down the front (can't take me anywhere). 'Bummed' doesn't cover it. So, after kicking myself all the way home I went online, positive it was in vain and I now was the owner of yet another shabby coat, and promptly came to your site. Well, I read the tips, did what was suggested (the talc method) and managed to wait 25 minutes until I HAD to check, expecting no improvement and have found the PROMINENT stains almost gone! So, my beautiful and needlessly, but deliciously, expensive coat has been resusitated, I'm happy again and all is right with the world (except for Bush). Thank you all soooo much!!! Really.
