How to Remove Cooking Oil Stains from Clothes

Cooking oil stains are a common problem. To remove these stains from your colored or white clothes it’s best to start by pretreating the stain with Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover Spray.

Follow These Simple Steps for Pretreating and Washing:

1. Remove

   Remove the garment: do not treat clothing while wearing it.
2. Test

   Test for colorfastness by applying the Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover Spray to a hidden area on the fabric. Wait 10 minutes, rinse with water and let it dry. If the fabric color is affected, do not use this product.
3. Remove

   Remove all loose dirt from the fabric and blot wet stains with a clean absorbent cloth.
4. Spray and Wash

   Spray Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover Spray directly onto the fabric, covering the entire stain. Wait 10 minutes and then wash immediately with an all or mostly colors load for colored garments, and an all or mostly whites load for white garments.

As an alternative, you can use Clorox® Bleach Pen Gel for removing cooking oil stains on white clothes.

Follow These Simple Steps for Pretreating and Washing:

1. Remove

   Remove the garment: do not treat clothing while wearing it.
2. Test

   If in doubt about colorfastness, apply a small amount of Clorox® Bleach Pen Gel onto a hidden area on the fabric. Rinse with water and let it dry. If the fabric color is affected, do not use this product.
3. Shake

   Shake your Clorox® Bleach Pen Gel before use.
4. Unscrew

   Unscrew cap on the chosen tip. Choose the fine point for precision jobs or the scrub brush for larger ones. Do not have both caps off at the same time.
5. Squeeze

   Squeeze Clorox® Bleach Pen Gel and apply liberally. Replace cap after use.
6. Treat

   Treat stains on white areas of garment. (Note: Using large quantities increases the chance of affecting adjacent colors.)
7. Rub and Wash

   Rub into stain. Wash immediately with an all or mostly white load.
