**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.
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??
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.
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 😁
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!
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.
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. :) Steve
@@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
@@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.
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.
This works phenomenally well . All you need is the patience to stick with it and let the paint thinner (mineral oil) do the work. It's just a question of work and time. The results are astonishing. Forget all the subtle commercials for WD 40.

I had never phantom such bleach-remover existed so THANK YOU for these amazingly good cleaning tips!
How well does it work on stains that have been set in clothes for a while? Does it provide the same results? How bout old stains where the clothes have already been washed and dried over time? Thanks for the great advice, I will definitely use this from now on.
+dkarnish For very good results, you would use this method on new or older stains before any washing or drying. If you washed an item of clothing that had oil on it, and it is still there after the wash, then this method should GREATLY help to remove the stain. Thanks For Watching!
If you were at a loss try CLR it was I don’t know why I did it but I did it and it worked on this blanket that nothing else wouldn’t even make a difference in the stain at all.

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.

Paint thinner.

I can get through this at 2x speed, for those having trouble with how slow he is.
can you use nail polish remover instead of paint thinner?
I was wondering the same.
Wow...great clip....just saved my fav sweater and short...love it...thanks heaps

Mate I got a cooking grease stain on my white trainers do you think this method would work ?
Try non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner with a paper towel held behind the fabric, then wash.
What if the oil is dry?
Hello there. Oil usually never dries, unless it's an oil based paint. Old oil stains could be removed, but it's more difficult. Thanks for watching!
electronicsNmore it's oil which mechanic use so it's oil from a car
Thx!...and can I also apply this colored clothes?
Yes, but use more blotting instead of brushing. You don't want to create a faded area. Be sure to share the video link with friends. Thank you!
that is so good! Now, I can stain my clothes without worrying from my wife's scolding.
Would using acetone (nail polish remover) work?
Acetone works, but it's a little harsh, and really smells.
Just spray carb cleaner or brake cleaner on the spot and let it drip through until all dissolved and dripped away. It's basically like a drycleaning solution.
Non-chlorinated brake cleaner is good also. Thanks for watching!
Can you plz tell what you used in bowl....I didn’t understand
It works an absolute treat, even if I do have to literally smuggle mineral spirits in from out of state. :D
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.
What would you suggest for a faux leather sofa with oil on ?
You think this will work on timberland boots
I've used pure mineral spirits on everything, and never had any problem. It's up to you.
electronicsNmore what about on a north face bag
what about on my versace suede earring / flotation device?
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.
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.
Trying to flip through all the comments here to see if you mentioned that this works on motor oil that has been on jeans and been washed and dried repeatedly and still stained? I'm going to try it anyways but if you have time please respond
I usually spray the stain with purple power or similar and hope for the best. I'm going to try this next time.
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?
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 😁✌️
Can you please explain what is that soln added to remove at first ??
I tried it...and it's done within seconds....thanks🙏
Great 👍

@@maianhpham9724 I have used turpentine oil. It's just the oil paint's thinner oil that's always available on paint shops and are very cheap in price.
@@싱흐네하 thank u 🙏
will it work on hot olive oil stain from cooking?
Does this work on synthetic, moisture wicking fabrics? Or does the mineral spirits dissolve the fabric?
I've used it on many different materials.
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.
Does this also work on Hi Vis coats/jackets/coveralls etc
It should work fine, you can also use non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner.
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!
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?
Does this work after the oil has dried?
Does this work on colored clothing?
Is it safe to use on back clothes?
Should be fine, but spot test in an area that you can't see. Use a BLOTTING action on black, rather than brushing, otherwise you'll fade the color.
Excellent service very good did enjoy
Would this work on a red hoodie that I washed and dried once cause I'm worried of the color being affected it's a sentimental hoodie
Will this work on a faded stain? I've done the liquid detergent method twice with cold water. I was wondering if I could use this method.
Only thing you can try.
