How To Easily Remove Oil From Fabrics/Clothing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- A great tip for mechanics. Learn the best way to remove new or used motor oil from virtually all clothing/fabrics, as well as food oils without the use of expensive laundry products which usually do not remove all the oil. ALWAYS test on an inconspicuous area first! Excessive brushing on colored fabrics can result in a faded area once the oil has been removed. Always use a VERY soft tooth brush, and blot the fabric more to avoid that problem.

**ATTENTION: Brushing too hard on colored fabrics, or using a brush that's not soft, can create a faded spot on the colored fabric. Blotting more instead of brushing, can help prevent that. Mineral spirits & liquid dish washing detergent will not damage colored fabrics(based on my tests). You can also use "Non-Chlorinated" Brake Parts Cleaner to remove oil from clothing!
electronicsNmore Does it work on carpet in a Tahoe? I'm restoring it I just bought it and it has caked on black spot that are extremely thick. I'm pretty sure it's motor oil and mud mixed together.
electronicsNmore Liquid dish detergent wet or straight out of the bottle?
electronicsNmore will this method work on shoes?
electronicsNmore how bout if the stain is too long Already ..Thanks
hey i was sewing my yellow cotton shirt and from sewing place old machine oil drop and now its stain on my shirt.
and its dry now..is this method will remove that stain too??
Brilliant 👏
I had tracksuit with big oil stain on the pants after total loss car accident, I kept trying with all possible ways with no result until I watched this..
Now I'm wearing it again after 4 years like new 🙌 At least something has been saved 😁
That’s awesome! I was wondering if it would work on old stains.
After frantically scouring the entire internet and multiple forums, I can confidently say this is THE BEST method for getting out used motor oil from tennis shoes! I accidentally got a huge spot on the tip of my bright white shoes and thought I would never be able to wear them again.
SO THANKFUL I FOUND YOUR VIDEO because this method worked perfectly & I will now recommend it to everyone I know!
Side note: I did also mix a small amount of Baking Soda into the Dawn Dish Soap when scrubbing my shoe with hot water & that seemed to also help brighten up the white material after the stain was completely removed.
Thank you so much... I have been struggling 😩... with one of my fav. Light color 👗... now the greas stain got removed by ur remedy.. 😊
I accidentally knelt in a lot of dirty black engine oil on my good jeans. After trying several methods to no avail, I tried this as demonstrated and it really worked!! I no longer have oils stains and my jeans look great again!
Great to hear Julie!
Hello, could you tell me the brand or the name of mineral spirit/ paint thinner you used in the video? I search it and many results about thinner for acrylic paint show up, but I don't know if they're the right one.
This guy is the real deal, he really knows what are you doing
Lol I wonder what else he knows.. imagine how handy he is around the house. Every mans dream husband.
Your typo makes your comment a strange type of question. I do agree with you tho!
Good vid on carpet I do the blotting methode with Oxyclean my son my son left many small stains on the carpet from his juice cup it worked. Thanks for sharing.

Bravo !!! Well done !! Using this method and a bit of ingenuity I got the motor oil stains out my slacks
Finally something that actually works. Thanks. I stained my gym bag the first time I used it! Gonna get some thinner now!
If it's oil, it will come out. For extreme cases, try using brake parts cleaner. Place a paper towel behind the area where you're directing the spray. As usual, always test in an inconspicuous area first. Thanks for watching! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share.
My wife usually complains of stains in my shorts....now I can tell her its because I sat in a spot of crude oil then make her watch this video before she does my laundry. Thank you so much! Dill, a subscriber.
😄
Thank you for sharing. It's appreciated.
Worked perfectly for me, even on a shirt I’d tried several other things with including washing and drying afterward. Woo Hoo!

Hello, could you tell me the brand or the name of mineral spirit/ paint thinner you used? I search it and many results about thinner for acrylic paint show up, but I don't know if they're the right one.
I've put laundry-deterrent on a oil greased sweater and I let it work its magic overnight and wash it the next morning.
Your methode seems quite perfect and I should have done it your way.
I'm going to prepare a bottle of bleach-deterrent because I often use bleach for the toilet and sometimes leak a little bleach on clothes.
I had never phantom such bleach-remover existed so THANK YOU for these amazingly good cleaning tips!
Excellent service very good did enjoy
Great ideas, well demonstrated.
Much appreciated, Thank You.
+BR Gurunandan You're welcome! Please be sure to share my channel with others. Thank You
Thank you, although this isn’t the easiest method I’ve seen it really gets the job done. 👍🏽
Snail Opinions As long as it works, that's all that matters. :-) Thanks for watching!
Amazing!! I'm going to try it on my white dress that got car grease on the hem :-( Here's hoping it works for me. The stain is a few days old....will that affect the results?
Looks awesome, does this work on car seats and fabric car door sidings as well? Thank you

Great video!
I can't argue with your results, which were of course spectacular, however... I've been using automotive hand cleaner, GoJo and the like for over 30 years for removing grease and oil stains from clothing of all types with seemingly equal results to your method. I can't say for absolute certain that hand cleaner works as well on whites, since I honestly don't wear whites while working with oils, grease, postal cancellation grade inks, etc, but I can honestly say that with colors, I have never failed to remove such stains, nor have any affected articles of clothing suffered discoloration.
The key to success with the automotive hand cleaner is to catch and treat such stains before they enter the wash. If an article of clothing makes it through the wash still stained, finding its way in to the dryer, it's pretty much done.
With the hand cleaner, I simply rub a generous amount into the stain from both sides of the material and let it sit for a day. I throw the article of clothing in with the wash the next day. The time it takes to treat stained clothing depends on the damage. A stain such as you demonstrated takes less than a minute of rubbing in hand cleaner. Heavily oil soaked Jeans, on the other hand, may take up to 20 minutes. I don't think there are enough hours in the day to make this mineral spirits method of cleaning worthwhile on a heavily oil soaked pair of jeans.
I am almost tempted to stain a white T-shirt with used motor oil, then treat with hand cleaner and throw it in the wash the next day, but since I always use bleach on whites, I would expect good results all the same. If anybody has tried it on whites and had other than good results, I'd like to know.
I like that you show an alternative method to those products designed specifically for cleaning laundry stains because to honest, not one of those products that my wife has ever tried actually works. Finally she quit buying them. She knows I have a GoJo dispenser in the basement shop area, just around the corner from the laundry area. :)

I only use two methods. The one shown here, and brake parts cleaner. The brake cleaner video I have puts all other cleaning method to shame.
@@electronicsNmore I'll have to check that one out. Brake parts cleaner is one of my most commonly used substances in the garage. I suspect it should blast stains from clothing pretty well, I've just never thought to use it in that fashion.
I pretty much stick to cotton in those type environments, so I don't anticipate any ill affects. Have you tried it on any synthetic blends? Most brake parts cleaners, and some of the more volatile electrical contact cleaners will melt many plastics quickly.
Your two methods and my standby are three effective methods for handling stains. I wonder how it is that products like "Spray & Wash" and "Shout", which pretty much don't work at all in most cases, remain on the market all these years.
Steve
I'm going to try this out. Thanks for the tip, Steve.
@@brittanyjackson3020 I think you'll be pleased by the results, so long as you treat the stains before the affected garment goes through the wash, but more importantly, before a stained article finds it's way into the dryer. The heat of the dryer will, more or less, bake the stain into the fabric. I hope the hand cleaner does the trick for you.

Thanks for posting this detailed and informative video.
You're welcome!
I actually learned something new from your video, thanks.
Thankyou👍 this method seems effective and the least fuss
So happy it worked thanks 🙏🏿
Thank you. My husband is an automobile mechanic. Need I say more?
😀
Could work on his underwear too
Wow. It's effective!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Be sure to share the video link with others, and look over my "Useful Tips" video playlist as well. Thanks
You really did an excellent job. Very patient with the process. Does this work on all kind of oil. specially the cooking oil. Many thanks.
Should work fine. If a wet looking area remains where the oil stain was, then try blotting with 91% alcohol.
Thank you for the helpful information
If you kindly can you please show us how to remove the wine stain...
My riding jacket got alot of dirt stains from the road which i use it everyday. My riding jacket i been using it for almost a year now. I've tried alot of products, nothing seems to work. Finally i came across this video. I can give it a try on my stain jacket which almost a year hahaha. Thanks @electronicsNmore for this video!
Did it work?
So if I was in the automotive industry, always messing with oil/grease what's the best clothing material avoid stain or at least less hassle later to clean?
I watched, was fascinated, almost commented, decided to try it first. Wow! Three decades as a professional equipment mechanic and the clothes I threw away. I've done similar using hand cleaner with mixed results. I dismissed anything (chemical) stronger without ever having tried. Had no idea paint thinner was color safe. Just saved one of my favorite shirts. Thank you, Thank you!!!
Try and use low odor mineral spirits to cut way back on any odor after washing.
@@electronicsNmore Thanks, I'll try that next. Unfortunately, I wont need to wait long...life of a mechanic. Lol. Thanks again!
Thank you very much the very thing happened to me when i was checking the oil level on my car on a slightly windy day, and blob or should i say spot !?. :)
My man! GREAT method!
Thanks for the video had automotive black grease. An it works can’t believe it. Got it all out I didn’t do the second step with the dishwashing liquid. Just through it in the washer. Everything was good
Glad it helped Jack! Be sure to share my videos with others. Thanks
great video ? will this application work to remove unknown old stain (might be coffee)on vintage cotton handerchief? please reply
This worked. Earlier today o got a drip of used oil on my fabric desk chair. I tried to clean right away with Dawn but it left a larger, still visible stain. i agree, try and blot out any excess first instead of smearing more in. 7 hours later i saw your hack online and tried it. I used Dawn after a small amount of mineral spirits and damn its gone.
Yes watch the hard brushing with a toothbrush or any brush. It will chew up the fabric pretty quick. Found out the hard way on shirt collars.
Glad it helped! Be sure to share. Thank you
Wow man. thank you. Saved one of my favorite shirts! Great method. Worked awesome.

Thank You brother. I was tensed after I saw Motor oil spot on jeans yesterday. I hope this would help me remove them all. I will check and update you. Thanks for your help.
Don't brush too much or you'll fade the color of your jeans. Blot more instead.
@@electronicsNmore Thank You Brother. Your attentiveness will pull you to New heights. Surely I will take care of that. God bless u.
Well done has always. Thank you for sharing.

What would you suggest for burnt grease stains in a lime green T-shirt? It's a cotton shirt.
GREAT job,can the same procedure used on tar?thanks for a response
Yes
Will this work if like our clothing had stain with the motor oil for quite sometime?
Very good video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Hi, Thanks for the video. Quite informative. My fav jeans is one week old with grease, Just purchased something labelled standard thinner from the hardware..told its the same as paint thinner. I am really struggling trying to remove it..cant see any changes yet, is it that the oil is too old and too late to remove? Thanks
Mineral spirits should remove the grease. Use a spray bottle and keep blotting. Don't rub too much, or you'll fade the color of the fabric.
This is so satisfying.
Great demonstration. very clear and effective Wow, thank you for posting.

Awesome, I use acetone and dawn dish liquid mixed together put it on the stain and let soak for at least an hour or overnight for bad stains the drop on the washer, repeat if necessary but usually one time does the job.
The best method is below, followed by washing.

Everything related to motor grease oil stain, was explained well.
But, you have shown only the fresh stain removal method, what if it is a older stain.
THANKYOU.
If you washed it, good luck removing it.
Thank you so much, i got my brand new white socks clean again after my bikes chains threw oil to them.

Mineral Spirits are no longer sold in California. Would Paint Thinner work? Thank you.
can use it on color shorts or anything color my husband got motor stain on his blue shorts and I need to know if it'll work on color clothes but I love the video
It will work on colors also, the only thing you have to worry about is fading the oil stained area from excessive brushing of the fabric. Use a VERY soft toothbrush, and blot the fabric more than brushing it. Like anything else, always test on an inconspicuous area first. Thanks For Watching!
Awesome going to try this on some old jeans. Have dried paint, going to use some isopropyl alcohol for that.
Non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner also works great.
I think this would be great for cleaning our bulk shop towels, just using the same materials in greater quantities. Only concern I have is the flammability of the mineral spirits in the dryer, but I gathered that the dish soap removes the mineral spirits from the fabric? Thanks
Use white vinegar 😁✌️
Will this work is the stain has had time to sit like for a few weeks?
thanx man, been super helpful 🥰
Glad to hear it!
I usually spray the stain with purple power or similar and hope for the best. I'm going to try this next time.
auto motive brake clean or electrical contact cleaner also works well. I saved leather jackets this way. Thanks great channel
Yes, that works too.
Every man needs to know this to avoid hysterical house noises 😂😂
This really works, amazing, thank you! Saved me a good pair of jeans.
Great to hear! You're welcome. Some people brush too hard, and end up making a fade spot. If you brush very softly, then do a lot more blotting, it does a great job. Thanks for watching! Please share the video link with others.
Man I hope this works on a $300 pair of blue jeans

Amazing.... however, i had a hydraulic fluid leak on my convertible roof lining... how do i fix THAT???? HELLLP!!
Does this method work for colorful cotton clothes as well??
does it work on oil stains over 24 hours old? works very well on fresh stains as you demonstrated. good video
+tooterr101 oldgeezer
Yes. Works very well. Far better than anything you buy in the store for oily stains.
Thanks For Watching!
Does this work on synthetic, moisture wicking fabrics? Or does the mineral spirits dissolve the fabric?
I've used it on many different materials.

Only thing you can try.

Nice vid. This might work for me, but not going to work on my husband's clothes. His is completely covered in different oils from work. Need something for entire wash load.
Thanks for this iv just got grease all over the back of my work shirt brushed up against the front of the train I really hope this works well
If it doesn't, then try non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner. Thanks for watching!
thank you
Wouldn't mineral spirits also pull some of the dye from the clothing if it wasn't white? Just wondering
Great video and tips. I need to go try and remove two old stains now.
It works best before washing, but I've removed old oil stains also. Don't brush too hard on colored fabrics, you may fade the color. Blot it more.
Can you please explain what is that soln added to remove at first ??
Wow you're video still great it's been 6 years hehe. I always watch every time you upload video. But anyway what is that liquid ? Is that alcohol?
It is also good with silk ?
Food drop on it
It worked for me. Thanks

Heather B Any oil.
How do you know how long to scrub it for if you can't see the oil stain as easily as that dark motor oil?? the stain I'm trying to remove is obvious when it is dry but if it gets wet I cannot see it at all. :-/
