How do you remove mink oil from a tablecloth?

Answer by  Camelia (662)

You should first put some salt on the stain and let it sit for a few hours. Than you try washing it with something for stains, like Vanish, putting some on the stain and the rest in the washing machine, or you can try washing it with shampoo, it sometimes works.

Well, it may be tough, but I recommend using vinegar. Leave it on for a few hours and see if you can scrub it off.

Don't rub the fabric, this makes oil very hard to get out. Blot away excess oil with a paper towel, then cover the affected area with cornstarch. Leave it to sit overnight, then brush away. Use a tea towel to dab dishwashing liquid on the tablecloth, then wash in hot water in the washing machine. Repeat if needed.

Place garment on a clean, flat surface with paper towel underneath. With stain facing upward, blot stained area. Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on stained area and let sit for 12 hours. Remove excess powder and apply small amount of detergent into the stain. Laundry item using the highest heat setting allowed for the garment. Repeat the process if needed.

The best way is to blot with a dry paper towel. Then put cornstarch on the oil stain and leave over night. In the morning rub off the cornstarch and damp a cloth with laundry detergent and again blot the stained area. At this point wash the tablecloth in the washing machine and the spot will be gone.

Well, to remove the oil from the table cloth, you want to be using rubbing alcohol. Rub deep into the substance and see if it works. If not, then use vinegar.

Like many other stains mink oil is easiest removed when fresh. But you can always put a generous amount of rubbing alcohal over stain. DO NOT RUB but just use a clean rag and blot until no more oil comes up.
