How do you clean olive oil from clothes?

Answer by  JustMeKC (341)

You will need to use a pretreatment to get it out. I can suggest either a Tide Stain stick or Dawn Dish detergent. Dawn is great on oil stains if they have not set, but can cause over sud sing so wash it separate to avoid a overflow of bubbles.

Cover stain by completely with baby powder. Let set overnight. Rub in some Dawn dish soap, and wash in cold water. Drip dry.

I recently came across this problem, and luckily i found the solution! In order to remove the olive oil from your clothes use a dish washing liquid such as dawn. Scrub the affected area with some dawn, than through it in the washing machine as you normally would with your regular laundry detergent.

The first step is to apply talculm powder liberally to the stain. Let it sit overnight so that it soaks up the oil. The next step is to pretreat with any stan remover and then to was as you regularly would.
