How many ways to wash off oil stains??

[KARTer]

I have tried washing detergent and also bleach to wash off the exhaust oil stains on my white overall... the stains are in spot form... but all failed.

 

What else have you guys used to clean off such spots / oil stains?

 

Thanks

Not simple thread...

you have acetone?

 

i thought of acetone too but once a long period has elapsed, the oil molecules would have entrained itself within the mesh like network of the fabric at the micro level.

i tried to wash off the stains within 12 hours, but they dont come off

 

should i try those 'grease-soup/paste' mechanics use to clean their greasy hands?

Have u tried using Kerosene?

I used it to remove black stains from hands after fiddling with engine.

 

Don't knw if curry stains in same category as exhaust stains (since it's also oil based); I would rub flour onto each spot, set aside for an hour or so, wash off the flour, then, use detergent.

No harm in trying,

Good luck

I have come across mechanics suffering from hand skin problems due to washing their hands with diesel / kerosene sometime even with left over petrol. Just to go to any workshops and you can easily spot mechanics washing their hands with clothes washing detergent/powder.

Appreciate Yeobh for pointing out the harm it can cause.

Thought it was easier and faster way of ridding the stain.

Thanks

Understand powder eg flour etc may absorb fresh oil stains. Thanks

U're welcome.

The finer the flour, the better. Eg corn or tapioca, baby talc

Btw, only rub flour onto dry clothes, once wet, Bo kiew liaw!

Enlarged pores among the initial symptoms.

Can also use chalk powder?

Come to think of it, was taught this powder method by my mum,

who used her solid block of face powder to rectify the problem.

Maybe the chalk is harder, less porous.......

Give it a try & keep us posted.

When u figure out how to get rid of these stains, can u demo it to me for my kart suit?

Baking soda is one of them...
