Make sure you are using a dish soap that has some grease fighter in it, don’t use a lotion-y dish soap. I just use Aldi brand “Dawn” soap. Once you have made sure you have all the stains covered, let the shirt sit for a couple of hours. I put dish soap on my shirt and then went and ran some errands.
The dish soap will do its grease-fighting action as the clothes sit. Then once the clothes have sat for a couple of hours you can wash them. I recommend washing them on the hottest cycle possible for the clothing. When the cycle is done pull the clothes out and let them air dry.
You can watch the video below to see how to get the oil out of the clothes.
When they are done drying you can look over them to make sure all the spots are gone. Usually, the first round with the dish soap does the trick, but sometimes I either miss a small spot or have to do one more coat with the dish soap. If you still have a little bit of staining then you can go back through and repeat the steps.
This simple trick will take your shirts from stained and ready for the dumpster to wearable again. You will never have to wonder how to get cooking oil out of clothes again! Dealing with other stains?
