HOW TO REMOVE SET-IN GREASE STAINS FROM LAUNDRY

The lifesaver came in the form of Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam, recommended by my mom’s friend. Originally designed for grease-laden dishes, this product proved its worth on laundry too. Initially, I sourced it from Target, but with its hit-or-miss availability, I’m considering Amazon for future purchases.

A bit of this foaming soap goes a long way. Just a small squeeze on each grease spot, a gentle rub with your fingers to ensure full coverage, and let it sit for about five minutes before the wash.

Proceed with your regular wash cycle using your favorite detergent – I swear by Tide Coldwater Clean for its effectiveness in cold water.

If the stain proves stubborn on the first go, a second or even third application of Dawn erasing foam usually does the trick, obliterating stains that seemed permanent even after previous washes and dries.
