1. Baking soda and shampoo. Combining these two products can effectively remove greasy stains. To do this, mix a teaspoon of baking soda with the same amount of shampoo. Apply this mixture to the stain, rub it with a soft-bristled toothbrush, rinse the clothes, and wash them in the machine.

For colored clothes, mix baking soda with shampoo; for white fabric, you can use baking soda alone. You can also substitute the shampoo with dishwashing liquid.

2. Flour effectively absorbs fresh grease stains and makes it easier to clean soiled clothes. To use this method, generously sprinkle the stain to cover it completely and leave it to act overnight.

If you notice that the stain has not disappeared, apply a little black soap to the stain and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then launder the items in the washing machine.

3. White chalk powder is also effective in removing grease stains. Simply rub the stain with white chalk before washing your clothes in the machine.
