Some greasy stains on clothes cannot be washed. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-soak them before putting them in the washing machine.

To do this, use dishwashing liquid to remove the dried stain from the garment and a toothbrush to lightly scrub it.

Allow the product to work for a few minutes, then place the garment in the washing machine. You can also soak the stained garment in a bowl of cold water mixed with a tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. With this soapy water, it will become clean and stain-free.

You can use these natural ingredients to remove stubborn dirt:

1. Marseille soap. To get rid of a greasy stain on your clothes, you can use Marseille soap before putting them in the machine, especially to remove yellow stains on fabric.

Rub the stain with damp Marseille soap and leave it for a few hours before loading the laundry into the washing machine. Then run a wash cycle suitable for the garment.

3. White vinegar. To do this, soak the stain in white vinegar and leave it to act for about an hour. Then you can put the clothes in the machine.
