When it comes to removing oil stains from delicate fabrics such as silk or cashmere, special care must be taken to prevent damage.
Gently dab the stain with a paper towel or absorbent cloth to remove excess oil: be careful not to rub, as this may spread the stain further. Alternatively, gently sprinkle the stain with talcum powder or cornstarch to absorb the oil, leave for at least 15-20 minutes, then gently remove the talcum powder with a soft brush.
Then apply a small amount of mild hand wash detergent directly to the stain. Rub gently with your fingers or a soft brush. Gently rinse the affected area with cold water to remove the detergent and the stain residue. Avoid using hot water, because it could set the stain further. Wash delicate fabric by hand with a mild detergent, following the fabric instructions and avoiding the use of bleach or harsh products.
We always recommend testing a small hidden area of the fabric before going ahead with the full stain removal.
To remove oil from a rug, it’s important to act quickly to prevent it from soaking into the fibres. Start immediately by gently dabbing the stain with an absorbent cloth or paper towels to soak up excess oil. Don’t rub because you could spread the stain. Then sprinkle the stain with baking soda or talcum powder to absorb even more oil. Leave for around 15-20 minutes, then vacuum up the baking soda or talcum powder.
Next, prepare a solution of hot water and liquid carpet cleaner. Use a sponge or a clean cloth soaked in this solution to gently dab the stain, trying not to wet the rug too much. Continue dabbing until the stain fades. Finally, rinse the rug with clean water and dry it thoroughly. If the stain persists, we recommend that you contact a professional carpet cleaner. Always remember to test the cleaning solution on a small, non-visible area of the rug before tackling the main stain.
There are several effective products to choose from when it comes to removing oil from clothes. One of the best products is the Chanteclair Millemacchie Stain Removal, which effectively removes oil from fabrics. It’s important to choose a detergent that is suitable for the type of fabric and to carefully follow the instructions for use. Some detergents contain enzymes or bleaching agents that can help break down fat molecules and remove oil more effectively.
Alternatively, you can also use a mild, concentrated dish soap, which can help to weaken the oil stain. You could also try a solvent such as denatured alcohol or acetone to remove oil from hard-wearing fabrics. However, it’s important to be careful and test the product on a small hidden area of the fabric before full application. Remember to wash your clothes according to the fabric instructions after treating the oil.
