By Gwen Lowe


Handling a stain like this needs some care because it may prove really difficult. This is because grease removal is not easy to deal with in comparison to other kinds of stain. There is no point of throwing away your fabric once you realize it is damaged from such stains. These are usually cleaned by some available household product.

You should act as fast as possible once you realize that your fabric is stained. Cleaning it immediately will enable you to get rid of these stains fast enough. Further penetration may make it hard to clean and damage the fabric more.

There is a cleaning dish soap which you can use. Squeeze it to the stained part and enable it cover the stain. This makes it easy to wash and clean. You should make sure that all the stained areas have even distribution of this product. A lubricating spray is also available which you can use to enable the fabric get saturated. This option proves to be faster in trying to clean such stains.

In order to ensure that the spray has neutralized the stain, rub the fabric gently as you watch for any traces. This rubbing creates some soap foam necessary for cleansing. Make sure the foam is left over for up to five minutes to enable it penetrate into the fabric. Soaking of the fabric is then done by dipping it in warm water. It can be in the water for thirty minutes or so.

To make sure your fabric stays durable even after these wash ups, you should apply any pre-treatment products to it. This will also make it retain its original colour. After this, carry out your washing the normal way then dry up the fabric. Adding ammonia is necessary during the washing to brighten up the fabric and confirm that it is free of stains.

Keenly examine your fabric to know which areas have puddle stain. These are the areas you need to start off with. You can scoop such a puddle with a spoon and then get a leeway onto cleaning your fabric. Other objects like a knife could not be good enough as they can tear off and cause damage to your fabric.

Testing these products is highly recommended before using them. Just apply it to a small portion of your fabric and see to it how it works, before using it in the entire stained part. If it is okay, then carry on with the entire stain. This is because it is not easy to know how a certain fabric will react with a give product especially if you have never used it before.

Checking your fabric after the wash is highly important. You are able to see any remaining stain and act appropriately. If there is any stain that remained, then it is wise to try and remove it first before drying. Letting your fabric dry with a stain on it may make the stain spread and lead to a repeat of the entire process. This is because the heat generated from the dryers may melt down the left over stain and cause havoc.
