Quick Fixes for Grease Stains on Clothes

Got oil or grease on your favorite shirt from Boneflagger Store? Don’t worry — it’s not ruined yet. Grease stains may be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can lift them without damaging the fabric or fading the print. Whether it’s from food, car work, or a kitchen accident, here’s how to quickly get your gear clean.

Why Grease Stains Are So Tough?
Oil and grease don’t dissolve in water easily, making them hard to remove with regular washing. Left untreated, these stains can darken over time, attract dirt, and permanently set into the fabric, especially on cotton or blended materials commonly used in Boneflagger’s casual and streetwear pieces.

Step-by-Step: How to Treat a Grease Stain on a Shirt
1. Act Fast
The quicker you treat the stain, the better your chances of removing it completely. Blot the area with a paper towel or clean cloth to absorb excess oil — don’t rub, or you’ll spread the stain.

2. Sprinkle Baking Soda or Cornstarch
Cover the stain with baking soda or cornstarch to absorb grease. Let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then brush off the powder. This helps lift the oil before washing.

3. Apply Dish Soap or Mild Detergent
Gently rub a small amount of dishwashing liquid (like Dawn) or enzyme-based laundry detergent directly onto the stain. Let it soak for about 10 minutes to break down the grease.

⚠️ Test soap on an inconspicuous area first, especially for printed or dyed items from Boneflagger.com.

4. Rinse with Warm Water
Rinse the treated spot with warm (not hot) water to help lift the oils without shrinking the fabric.

5. Wash as Usual
Launder the shirt as recommended on the care label. Use warm water if safe for the fabric. Avoid using hot water or the dryer until the stain is completely gone — heat can set it permanently.

Alternative Grease-Removal Hacks
Aloe Vera Gel: Gently rub aloe gel into the stain, then rinse and wash.

Chalk: Rub white chalk over small grease spots to absorb oil.

Lemon Juice + Salt: Use this natural combo for light fabrics, but avoid on dark-colored clothes.

Grease stains are no match for the right technique. With quick action and the right cleaning agents, your Boneflagger shirts can stay as fresh and fearless as ever. From graphic tees to statement hoodies, don’t let a little oil mess with your look.
