How to remove grease stains in no time using chalk
Grease stains are, together with grass stains, undoubtedly the most difficult ones to remove. Yet, there is a simple and effective way to regain your stained clothes that you thought you lost forever. Here’s what you need :
- A white chalk,
- Paper sheets like paper towels,
- A grater,
- An iron.
Procedure
In order to get rid of a grease stain on synthetic fabric clothes or on cotton garments, you simply grate some white chalk on the stain. The aim is to let the chalk completely penetrate the fabric so that it wipes off, or even absorbs, the grease stain.
Then place some absorbing paper sheets on the garment and go over it with a hot iron. Repeat this action until the chalk has completely been absorbed.
Optional
You may finish the task by washing off the stain with black soap before putting your garment in the machine. This step is, of course, optional.
Extra
Always have a piece of chalk near your washing machine. You never know…
