00:00 Removing Grease Stains Introduction
Today’s video is part of our ever-expanding collection of stain removal guides. If you’re struggling with stains on your clothes caused by grease, then today’s video is the one that you want!
00:50 Understanding Grease Stains
Grease stains come from oily organic and inorganic materials. The most common types are derived from vegetable oil, dairy and animal fats, and industrial lubricants. Most greases are pale or golden yellow in color.
The term “grease” or “greasy” is often colloquially applied to other potential stains. Grease is a water-insoluble lipid, meaning, that it is a fatty, tacky substance that doesn’t dissolve easily in water.
03:52 Stain Removal: First Steps
1. Remove any excess grease
2. Sprinkle desiccants like baking soda, cornstarch, or salt onto the stain
3. Check the cleaning instructions for your garment before putting any cleaning agent on it
05:45 Stains on Cotton, Linen, or Synthetics
08:44 Stains on Wools and Knits
09:32 Stains on Delicates (e.g. Silk)
10:05 Stains on Leather and Suede
For all of the fabric types and sets of instructions previously mentioned, you may need to repeat these steps multiple times. Between each attempt, take a picture of the stain to determine if you’re making progress or not.
If you are dealing with a heavily set-in grease stain, spray the stained area with a water displacement lubricant. If the grease stain still hasn’t gone away, it’s time to take the garment to the dry cleaners for some professional help.
13:06 Conclusion
Stains on your favorite clothes are never fun but with the information you’ve learned today, tackling grease stains should be no issue for you. Let us know in the comments if you have any grease-stain removal tips that we missed.

I use dish soap for all kinds of greasy food stains. Put it on the stain and throw it in the hamper until laundry day. For black dirty mechanic grease I used the hand cleaner my husband used to clean grease on his hands. Wash as usual.

@jonathonshanecrawford1840 10 месяцев назад

Could this include ball point pens as they are _oil based_ not like today's Gell pens, roller ball and fountain pens, which are water based inks! I believe that ball point pens oil is from the same place as petrol - oil - as the same with engine grease! Oh I do have vinyl grease as well - 33rpm 😃

@EM-ni5gt 10 месяцев назад

I'm a train operator and my work shirts look awful. We get grease, steel dust, sweat, mystery fluids and whatever else is on the train or walls inside the subway tunnels on our clothes. Any thoughts on what I can do to make my shirts look like they should? They're white shirts with blue gray stripes, at least they used to be. Now they're yellow and brown and just look dirty even when they're clean. Help

@jimsannerud6254 10 месяцев назад

I have had good luck with WD40 where other products have failed. But as recommended in the video, test on an inconspicuous spot first.

Hello @Gentleman's Gazette, I saw your old " Avoid These Fountain Pen Mistakes " video and I need your help !!!! I want to switch to Fountain pens for eco-friendly reasons by not using non-durable pens made from plastics, but there's a problem to my writing style. What I mean to say is while writing I rotate my pen in my grip very often to relieve the pressure on my fingers for a couple of seconds, and that's okay with ball or roller ball pens but not with fountain pens as fountains have to be only in one position and which is not the case with ball pens as they can be written in whichever orientation i.e nib held down on the paper !!!!! I will be overjoyed if you guide me in making the switch for good reasons beneficial in a fractional extent from my part !!!!! Thanks in advance😄😄 !!!!!

@HistoricGentleman 11 месяцев назад

Purchase a pen with a wider grip section and the need for rotation will disappear. Fountain pens unlike ballpoints write without any pressure applied by simple use of capillary action reducing hand stress to begin with.

@AngeloDestin_Official 11 месяцев назад

@@HistoricGentleman Thank You for the solution, I'll try and see if I can cope without the rotation tendency !!!!!

@221b-Maker-Street 5 месяцев назад

@@HistoricGentleman Came here to post a similar answer. 😄 @AngeloDestin_Official - If you're experiencing so much pressure that it requires you to frequently change your grip, then I imagine you're gripping your pens far too tightly, which makes me wonder why - narrow barrels? Habit? Tense writer, perhaps? Find a pen with nibs that offer you a good flow - my Mont Blanc fitted with a broad nib writes effortlessly, but test-drive several until you discover a pen and nib that really suit you. Best of luck in your search. 🖋

@BungaEBiker 11 месяцев назад

A gentleman should always wear a well fitting apron while cooking. An apron will save so very many headaches when dealing with grease. It's an easy step to take and they are inexpensive. If they get grease stains you can be a little more aggressive with the removal. Even then if the stain can't come out, if it won't transfer to your clothes then who cares it's an apron. That's it's job, to keep you clean.

@gentlemansgazette 10 месяцев назад

Aprons certainly are a sartorial life-saver when it comes to cooking! Accidents do still happen, even when care is taken, so hopefully the video is useful for those moments 😉

@jonathonshanecrawford1840 10 месяцев назад

Is it good idea to _"Soak"_ the garment in water, until one gets the chance to wash the garment?

@221b-Maker-Street 5 месяцев назад

I doubt it, as using only water means you have zero emulsifier.

@jonathonshanecrawford1840 5 месяцев назад

@@221b-Maker-Street Yes it may work, not plain water, but with some dish washing liquid or liquid soap of course. My idea is that keep the _stain" away form air as long as possible, until one gets the chance to wash it!

@jonathonshanecrawford1840 5 месяцев назад

@@221b-Maker-Street Also it depends on the stain, *water based.* or *oil based.* Most water based - _fresh - not dry_ - stain can come out with plain water, I have tried it, it does work!

@221b-Maker-Street 5 месяцев назад

@@jonathonshanecrawford1840 Yes, though your question was under a video specifically about removing *grease stains,* so my answer about the ineffectiveness of water was directly relating to an oily stain. Water-based stains - unless the substance has a dye-like property, for example tomato, turmeric, or beetroot - are nearly always easier to remove, I agree.

@jonathonshanecrawford1840 5 месяцев назад

@@221b-Maker-Street You talking about food stains? Yes correct, 90% are removable, I t is a good idea to carry a spare shirt for formal events, or when/where ever that may be a chance of a stain occurring! Today we can buy small bottles, that we can fill with say dish soap, in case there's a spill (possible stain). If course this is about medium -> large possible stains, Not India ink, that's near impossible to remove like some fountain pen inks, when dry, the garment is buggered!
