JAKARTA - Having a stain on your favorite clothes is certainly annoying and can't be sure to wear it. There are several types of clothes that are difficult to clean when they are exposed to stains, one of which is jeans. Jeans can be exposed to various stains, from food, oil, to colorful drink spills.
However, among these stains, oil stains are the most difficult to remove. For this reason, general rules for cleaning oil stains on jeans must be done immediately after the stains are attached. Because silence for too long can make the stain more difficult to remove and clean. Reporting from The Spruce, Thursday, July 4, here's how to remove oil stains on jeans.
Vessel tapp
The first thing that needs to be done is tapping the stains with tissue. Take tissue, fold it in two parts, and tapping the stain gently. This will help remove excess oil or fat that may seep into jeans. Starting this step will make the whole process of removing oil stains easier.
Get rid of the stains with baking soda
Put a little soda cake on the stain and let it sit for a few hours. Baking soda absorbs oil and removes fat that cannot be taken with tissue from the cloth. After a few hours later, take a suction of the dust equipped with a small tube and then suck up the remaining baking soda. If you don't have a vacuum cleaner, brush the remaining baking soda carefully. Remember, the less oil left behind, the easier the cleaning process.
Use soap, water, and brushes
Next, add a soft dish wash soap directly to the stains. Dishes are better than the laundry detergent. And the dish soap works better to break down and dissolve the fat. Next, take a used toothbrush or soft sponge and rub it gently with a stain until it foams for two to three minutes. Finally, rinse the soap or put the jeans in the washing machine.
Dry by winding, avoid drying
Often when dealing with fat and oil in jeans, it takes several attempts to remove spots. In addition, processing spots with any hot temperature can actually cause the spots to stick more and more so that it is more difficult to remove.
In addition, avoid using dryers and dry your pants by drying until you are sure the stains are gone. If there are still spots, repeat this process until the jeans look like new.

If the soda cake and dish washing soap method doesn't work, try spraying a little vinegar on the stain after cleaning the remaining baking soda. It can also help remove fat before washing.
Have you put your jeans in the dryer? Don't panic. You can still repeat the cleaning process if the stains are still there, but this time add a cleaning made from enzymes as part of the initial care of the stains before washing them.
