How to get oil out of a dried T-shirt?

Question

a) I spilt Italian Dressing on my shirt, and i washed it/dryed it and the oil stains still there! its not my shirt and i need to figure out how to get it out

b) My sister dropped olive oil on her shirt while she was baking and the same thing happened?

How Can u get it out after its been through the wash and dryed?

Answer 1

I just use regular Dawn blue dishwashing liquid, rubbed directly onto the spot, then laundered as usual.

Answer 2

Option 1. Baby shampoo can be used if the stain is mild or a harsher shampoo if the stain is more severe. Rub the t-shirt with shampoo for a few minutes and rinse with warm water then launder your shirt as normal.

Option 2. Liquid Dishwashing detergent can be effective on tough oil stains because they are made to cut the oil left behind on pots and pans. Rub the soap on the oily area, rinse your shirt and wash your shirt as normal.

Option 3. Baby Powder can be used on the shirt because the powder soaks up the oil.

Usually you want to attempt to remove the stain before you put it through the washer and dryer but it won't hurt to try and above tips.

Best of luck to you,

Answer 3

try go-jo hand cleaner, you can buy it at an automotive store like auto zone, rub it in with a small brush and was as usual, it may take several time to get it out but don't dry it again until it's all gone.

Answer 4

You can try to make a paste out of cornstarch and water and rub it on the oily spot, and then launder it again,,,if that doesn't work, take it to the cleaners

Answer 5

I have used 2 different things-if the shirt is white, I have used dishwasher detergent in the wash load-about 1/4 cup.  If it is colored I have used oxyclean even though I had had the shirt 4-5 years and it had many cooking stains on it-I used to cook for a living.

Answer 6

go to your walmart store (or something like it with an automotive department) and get the hand cleaner cream  " if you say "GoJo", they will know what you want.     Then take some of that creme and apply it directly to the oily shirt stain.    This stuff works on underarms sweat too.  Rub it in with your fingers and don't worry if there is excess GoJo on the surface.  That will wash away.  Toss it in the washer with regular laundry soap(whatever your brand) and wash it.  Oil is gone on the first washing and so is the GoJo..Just stuff it in the dryer and I dare you to find it once it is dried.

   Don't bother paying more for Fast Orange because you like the smell, you are going to wash it all out.  So the unscented cheap stuff will do the job just dandy.
