Question:
Hi everyone! :D
Can anyone give me some advice on removing oil stains from my white unifom.
I must have been careless with my hands when doing massages and have either sweet almond oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil on the front of both tunics!
I have tried 3 sorts of washing powder and an oxy-clean soak all night and still can't get the stains off.
Is it a case of bin them and start again ? Would a coloured uniform stain just as badly?
Otherwise I am just going to have to work purely by candlelight so the clients think I am as spotless as I should be!
Any advice anyone?
Cheers

I personally find using a blob of neat Fairy washing up liquid works really well. If the stains are old & have been washed frequently it may not work as any proteins may have set, but it's worth a go. Rub the washing up liquid into the stain quite intensively, really work it into the fabric for a few minutes, don't rinse. Then stick your clothes into the washing machine, preferably on their own. Use as high a temperature as you can without ruining your clothes and use your normal washing powder.
Let us know how you get on. :D
