This kind of stain can be a real problem especially if you don't know how to handle it. In fact grease removal is quite challenging if compared to those other types of stains. Some people may even opt to throw away such a stained fabric. There are household products which can be used to clean off such stains from butter, oil and the like.

One of the tips for successful cleaning of such stain is to treat it as soon as you get the stain. This would prevent further absorption and result to faster cleaning. In case you leave it to penetrate further, then you may not be able to successfully achieve what you wanted.

There is the need to squeeze cleaning dish soap directly on to the stain to make sure it is covered up. This is to help create good cleaning environment for the stain to be permanently gotten away with. Distribute this product evenly on the area with stains. There is a lubricating spray which you can use so as to saturate the fabric. This is in fact more efficient because it sprays all over.

In order to ensure that the spray has neutralized the stain, rub the fabric gently as you watch for any traces. This rubbing creates some soap foam necessary for cleansing. Make sure the foam is left over for up to five minutes to enable it penetrate into the fabric. Soaking of the fabric is then done by dipping it in warm water. It can be in the water for thirty minutes or so.

Pre-treatment products should then be applied to the fabric. These are essential in making sure that the fabric not only maintains the original colour but stays durable as well. Washing is then done normally to make the fabric free of all these products used there before. You can also add ammonia as you wash as this will permanently get rid of all the stains then dry the fabric up.

Keenly examine your fabric to know which areas have puddle stain. These are the areas you need to start off with. You can scoop such a puddle with a spoon and then get a leeway onto cleaning your fabric. Other objects like a knife could not be good enough as they can tear off and cause damage to your fabric.

If you are not really sure of a certain product, try testing it in a small portion of the fabric first so as to know what to expect. Using something you have never tried may cause extensive damage to your precious fabric. Otherwise, if you are sure of the outcomes, you may just carry out everything all together.

You should also make sure that you thoroughly check your fabric after washing to ascertain that it is in good order. This is to help you deal with any remaining stain before taking the fabric to the dryer. Since heat has to be generated from the dryer, it may set the stain more and spread to other areas. To such an extent the whole process may not be friendly if you have to repeat it again.
