Machine oil stains can be tough on fabric fibres, so it’s important to act quickly.
Start by blotting up any excess oil with a paper towel. Then sprinkle bicarbonate of soda, cornflour, or starch over the stain to help absorb the remaining oil – leave it for at least 15–30 minutes before brushing it off.
Next, apply a degreasing detergent or scrubbing soap to the area, rub it in well, and let it sit for a while to do its job.
Finally, wash the garment at a high temperature – as high as the care label allows for the fabric.
For more stubborn stains, a stain pre-treater or a specialist solvent may do the trick, but always test it first on a hidden part of the fabric to avoid any damage.
