How to get rid of oil stains on clothes or carpets

There are many products on the shelf that says, "Get stains off after wash!"

Well, that is when you do your laundry immediately before the oil substance absorb into the material. Moreover, you will have to buy that washing liquid to do so, which usually will cost you more than a normal detergent. However, I would recommend it if you ALWAYS get oil stains.

I have also heard that when you get stains, use baking soda to get rid of it. How the hell are you gonna get baking soda when you don't use it at home? But no doubt that it do work.

Here is a simpler and more cost effective way to get rid of occasional stains.



Yes, Baby Talcum powder (not necessarily the above brands). It's cheaper and can be use for other purposes.

Yes, it baby talcum powder has other usage besides getting babies comfortable and smell wonderful.

1. Pour a little on the oil stain. Remember to spread it evenly.
2. Wait for about 5 minutes for the oil to be absorbed.
3. Than take a damped cloth and rub it off. 

Just make sure you don't put any water on the stain before putting the powder. Liquid will only help the oil to absorb faster.

If you're home, just leave the powder on the clothes until you do your laundry.
