How to get oil stains out of cotton clothes

Tweet

This is an easy trick for getting oil stains out of cotton clothes. Sprinkle baby powder (I also heard corn starch works) on the oil stain and let it stand for an hour or two. The powder will soak up the majority of the oil. After letting the powder stand for a while brush it off and wash the garment as you normally would. I recently had an oil stain on one of my shirts and this worked really well. One more tip: Never put an oil stained garment into the dryer. That will just cause the stain to "set in". Always take care of stains ASAP.
