⚠️ Precautions

Safety is always #1 — please do not skip over this step
Important Precautions:

1. Always carry out a patch test by applying the stain remover or detergent to an unnoticeable part of the garment to check for colorfastness and reaction before treating the stain.

2. Be gentle while working on the stain. Vigorous scrubbing can spread the stain and damage the nylon fibers, making it more difficult to remove the stain.

3. Do not use hot water or a dryer until the stain has been completely removed. The heat can set the stain deeper into the fabric.

PPE Recommendations:

1. Disposable gloves: These can protect your hands from any strong chemicals contained in the stain remover, detergent, or solvent.

2. Apron or old clothing: This protects your clothes from any spillage or splashes when treating the stain.

3. Eye protection: A pair of safety glasses can prevent any accidental splashes from getting into your eyes.

Always remember, safety first!

Pre-Treatment

Why it’s so important

Pre-treatment is vital for grease stains on nylon for several reasons.

Firstly, grease stains are notoriously difficult to remove due to their oily nature, and pretreating helps break down the grease making it easier for it to be washed out.

Secondly, it prevents the stain from setting further into the fabric, reducing the chances of it becoming a permanent mark.

Lastly, pretreatment provides an initial attack on the stain, making the subsequent washing process more successful in completely removing the stain.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Pretreatment Instructions for Removing Grease Stains from Nylon:

1. Blot the stain gently with a clean white cloth or paper towel to remove any excess grease. (1-2 minutes)
2. Sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder onto the stain to absorb as much grease as possible. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. (10-15 minutes)
3. Use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to gently brush off the powder from the stain. Be careful not to spread the grease further. (1 minute)
4. Apply a prewash stain remover or liquid laundry detergent directly to the stained area. Make sure to completely saturate the stain. (1-2 minutes)
5. Let the pretreatment solution sit on the stain for at least 10 minutes to break down the grease. (10 minutes)
6. After the pretreatment time, check the fabric care label to determine the maximum wash temperature for the garment. (1 minute)

These pretreatment instructions will prepare the stain for the next steps of stain removal.

How To Remove This Grease Stain

⚠️ Make sure Pre-Treatment Instructions have been completed before trying to remove this type of Grease stain
———
1. Pre-treat the stain following the instructions provided above. (25-30 minutes)

2. Rinse the stained area from the back using cold water to flush out as much of the stain as possible. (3-5 minutes)

3. Apply a solvent-based stain remover or a liquid dishwashing detergent to the stained area and gently work it into the fabric using your fingers. (2 minutes)

4. Let the solvent or detergent sit on the stain for at least 15 minutes. During this time, it will continue to break down the grease. (15 minutes)

5. Rinse the stained area thoroughly with cold water. (2 minutes)

6. Wash the garment separately from other clothing items. Use the hottest water allowed for the fabric according to its care label instructions. (Depending on wash cycle, 30-60 minutes)

7. Once the washing cycle is complete, air dry the garment. Do not use a dryer as this can cause any remaining grease to set into the fabric. (a few hours to overnight)

8. Check the stained area once the garment is completely dry. If the stain is still visible, repeat the stain removal process from step 1. (1 minute)

Post-Treatment Care + Instructions

Special care instructions for after the Grease stain has been removed
———
1. Inspect the stained area after the garment has completely dried. If the stain is still present, do not iron, as the heat can set the stain deeper into the fabric’s fibers. Instead, repeat the cleaning process. (2 minutes)

2. If the stain has been successfully removed, the garment can now be returned to your regular wash routine. (N/A)

3. Be proactive in the future. Any time you notice a new stain, act quickly to treat it. Time is of the essence in stain removal, so the sooner you start working on it, the higher the likelihood that it will come off completely. (N/A)

Important Notes

Extra thoughts I had, just in case ♥️
———
Important Notes:

1. Nylon is a synthetic material and can be quite sensitive, so it’s crucial to avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage it.

2. While handling the prewash stain remover or liquid detergent, follow the instructions provided on the packaging carefully to prevent unnecessary harm to the fabric.

3. The time durations mentioned in the instructions are estimates and may need to be adjusted based on your specific circumstances.

4. Persistence is key. If the stain doesn’t come out the first time, don’t get disheartened. Repeat the stain removal process as necessary.

Remember, each stain is unique and may require a different approach. But with patience and timely intervention, almost every stain can be removed.

Three (3) Alternative Solutions To Remove This Grease Stain

1

Alternative Solution: “Vinegar Power”

1. Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.

3. Gently blot the grease stain, being careful not to spread it further.

4. Continue blotting until the stain starts to lift.

5. Rinse the stained area with cold water to remove the vinegar solution.

6. If the stain persists, repeat the process or move on to the regular stain removal steps.

Alternative Solution: “Lemon Cleanse”

1. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.

2. Dab a clean cloth or sponge into the lemon juice.

3. Gently rub the lemon juice onto the grease stain, focusing on the affected area.

4. Allow the lemon juice to sit on the stain for about 10 minutes.

5. Rinse the stained area with cold water to remove the lemon juice.

6. If the stain persists, repeat the process or proceed with the regular stain removal steps.

Note: The natural acidity of lemon juice can help break down grease stains and freshen up the fabric. However, do a patch test first to ensure that the lemon juice doesn’t cause any discoloration on the fabric.

3

Alternative Solution: “Baking Soda Breeze”

1. Create a paste by mixing equal parts baking soda and water in a small bowl.

2. Apply the baking soda paste directly onto the grease stain, covering it completely.

3. Gently rub the paste into the fabric using a soft-bristled brush or your fingers.

4. Let the paste sit on the stain for about 30 minutes to allow it to absorb the grease.

5. Rinse the stained area with cold water to remove the baking soda paste.

6. If the stain persists, repeat the process or proceed with the regular stain removal steps.

Note: Baking soda is known for its absorbent properties and can help lift grease stains. However, it’s important to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as baking soda may have slight bleaching effects on some fabrics.

Let’s Not Do This Again 😊

Why don’t stains ever take vacations? Because they love sticking around too much! So remember:

1. Stay agile, or else they’ll have an extended stay! React quickly when stains are noticed.

2. Just like on laundry day, always separate ‘lights’ from darks’ and ‘clean’ from ‘stained’

And last but not least…

3. Be kind to your clothes and on spaghetti nights, maybe opt for a bib… stylish AND practical!
