getting oil stains out
Dojj 4 May 2005 22:47:17
	ok, so most of us will have done this at one point or another but oil stains and clothes don't mix is there any sure fire way of removing them from delicate clothing? the mrs has spilt a drop on herself (like the bumbling eejit she is whenever she decides she's going to "help" me with something )and is now kicking herself over the little droplet of clean oil she's spilt on her dress now, to keep her away from the messy stuff I've told her I'm going to drop some oil on her everytime she tries to "help" me again by being useful around the garage (women tend to tidy things up and not bother about practical things like you being able to find anything every again) but this is going to end up in tears and tantrums so any way to get the little bitty oil stain out or is she forever doomed to wear an oily dress? -- poster in disguise shakes fist

	any way to get the little bitty oil stain out or is she forever doomed to > wear an oily dress?> Stain Devils make a product for every type of stain. In the meantime flood it from the back of the fabric with nail varnish remover. (She'll have some of that). Use loads and do this before it dries, swabbing with lots of kitchen roll. DaveK.

Quite whether it would suit a dress though I wouldn't lie to say. White spirit would be my other solvent of choice. -- Malc

If it is clean oil from a new can then it should clean like any other oil or fat stain. A resonably strong detergent applied neat, unscented washing-up liquid is ideal and then straight in the machine on it's usual wash load will sort it. If it's a dry clean only then just send it off for drycleaning tomorrow. If it's used oil then you are usually stuffed. The black stuff is very fine elemental carbon and it's almost impossible to shift it as you cannot bleach it and have to chemically react it away - and anything good enough to shift carbon will also shift the fibres it's supported on.

Depends what it's made of. If it will stand it, put it over some towelling or other absorbent stuff, squirt a little clean petrol onto it, and play a jet of air from an air line onto it, which flushes the petrol and oily contamination through. Repeat as needed. A nice fine jet is best. Don't smoke, etc.
