How to Remove Set-In Grease Stains from Laundry

Allow the Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam to sit on the clothes for about five minutes before proceeding with the wash.

Use your regular detergent and wash the clothes following the recommended settings. I personally choose to wash all my clothes in cold water using Tide Coldwater Clean.

In case the grease or oil stain persists, retreat the spot with the Dawn erasing foam and repeat the process. There have been a few instances of stubborn set-in stains that required two or three washes, but most are eliminated after just one treatment, even if the stained shirt had previously been washed and dried.

I’ve tested this method only on cotton, poly, and denim materials. If you encounter a stain on a more delicate fabric, I’d advise testing the Dawn erasing foam on an inconspicuous area first.

Finding this solution to eradicate the persistent grease and oil stains has been a tremendous relief! While I still don’t find joy in doing laundry, I have one less annoyance to contend with!

So, what’s your go-to laundry tip for dealing with stubborn or set-in stains? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
