Most people I have looked at say Dawn liquid is the best. Put some directly on the stain, rub it in by hand, and when launder as usual. Yeah, I agree Dawn is good. You might also try gojo hand cleaner or Simple Green, too.

How hexane get grease out of cloth?

Hexanes will dissolve the large, non-volatile greasy molecules which form the stain (hexanes are non-polar, i.e. oily, and the oily molecules from the stain will dissolve in it, something they will not do well in water--hence the difficulty in getting them out of clothing). Once the grease stain is dissolved, and washed away in the hexane, any hexane molecules left in the clothing will evaporate, and will thus not stain the cloths themselves (if they were not light enough to evaporate they would be just as difficult to get out as the original stain).


How can I remove a colored stain on your clothes?

Different stains come from different materials, which means that there are different ways to remove them. Something like milk or glue requires that you rinse it in cold water and avoid using hot water. Something like mustard or ink will dye the clothes, even after you pretreat and rinse it with hot water, you may even have to consider bleach. Oily and waxy stains should be pretreated with a liquid detergent. Try and determine what type of stain is on your clothing before you wash it out.


How do you remove sticky residue from the size sticker on jeans?

the same thing happened to me and i just used hot water ad a rag. no soap. try putting some alcohol-based perfume on it, let it dry and then scrub it off by using a clean piece of cloth.

You definitely DO NOT want to put any type of oily substance on clothing to get these stickers off. It will leave a stain. Same with some perfumes because they have oils in them.


How do you remove color stains from clothes?

Since different color stains come from different materials, there is no single right answer. Something like blood is a protein, which requires that you rinse it in cold water and pretreat it with something like OxyClean. Something like mustard or ink leaves a dye stain, so you should pretreat it and rinse it with hot water, and you may even have to consider bleach. Something with an oily or waxy feel needs to be pretreated with a liquid detergent, and may require a stronger detergent than you normally use. I recommend looking up the source of the stain if you know where it came from.

Why does tomato sauce stain clothes?

The stain is produced by the carotenoid pigments from the tomato that are mobilized by being dissolved or suspended in the oils in the sauce. In that form, they will penetrate into the threads of the cloth and resist removal by any but the most aggressive detergents that can emulsify the oils and solubilize the stain. Marinara sauce will stain clothing really well...Never wear a white shirt to an Italian restaurant.
