How To Remove Oil Stains from Clothing

The Verdict

Better than the chalk— and much better than we anticipated! The stain isn’t entirely gone, so this method isn’t a perfect, magical solution, but it did get rid of the Vaguely Unpleasant parts of it and make it much less noticeable. If anything, we were disappointed by the results merely because after we rinsed it off, it temporarily looked like the stain was totally gone, only for us to notice it again when it dried.

Aloe Vera

Could the same stuff that’s good for your skin be good for treating stains? The Internet seems to think so, with the tip showing up everywhere from Feminiya to Wikihow. The steps are, like the chalk and the hairspray, pretty simple:

1. Soak the stained fabric for “some time.” I let mine soak for about 20 minutes to half an hour.
2. Rub the aloe vera into the stains.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Allow to air dry completely.

The Verdict

Friends, this method is MAGICAL. I don’t know why it works, and I don’t know if I really care, because all that matters is that it DOES. There’s no sign of the stain that I can see at all. So easy! So clean!
