Instruction manual
1
Most fresh greasy and oily stains on clothes, in your case on jeans, are washed off easily with ordinary household soap or soda. To remove old stains is much more difficult, therefore the main rule - do not put off washing until later, thanks to the haste, you can achieve the desired results.
2
Before proceeding with removing a greasy stain from jeans, as follows, clean the product from dust with a dry brush, then moisten it in water and clean it again. It is desirable to treat the stain from the wrong side by placing a board covered with a clean cloth in several layers under the material.
3
Immediately after a greasy stain has formed on your jeans, immediately take salt and sprinkle it with a place of contamination, gently rub it (the same can be done with the pulp of still warm bread). Change the salt several times and continue rubbing until the stain disappears. If it has not completely removed, then wash the stain with a household soap or dishwashing liquid, which copes well with fat.
4
Before starting to wash jeans, sprinkle liberally with chalk or talcum powder (preferably on both sides), cover the top and bottom with blotting paper, iron with a not very hot iron. The chalk absorbs most of the oil stain, then clean up the dirt with a stain remover or gasoline. You can also use the following solution: mix three tablespoons of ammonia and half a teaspoon of table salt. Apply this product on jeans with a cotton swab or white material, replace them as they become dirty. During the treatment of the spot, in no case rub it hard from side to side. Act on it, starting from the edges, and gradually moving towards the center.
5
Use a special stain remover for linen ("Vanish"), which can easily cope with difficult stains. Treat the oily stain on the jeans with a stain remover and leave for 20-30 minutes for a deep effect. Then wash it with your hands and send it to the washing machine.
