A good option for cleaning oily clothes is a detergent that is specifically formulated to break down grease, like dish soap or Tide detergent. Many common household cleaners are designed to remove oil from fabrics.
Here are some additional tips for getting oily stains out of clothes:
- Pre-treat the stain: Before washing, rub a small amount of dish soap or laundry detergent directly into the stain.
- Use a stain remover: For tougher stains, consider using a stain remover specifically designed for oil or grease.
- Wash in hot water: Hot water helps break down grease more effectively.
- Avoid fabric softener: Fabric softener can trap oil in the fabric, making it harder to remove.
