Grease stains are the ninjas of laundry. They look gone when wet. Then the dryer reveals them, perfectly preserved forever.

Quick answer: absorb the oil first with baking soda or cornstarch, pretreat with a dissolved sheet, wash in the warmest water the fabric allows, and always check before drying.

Step 1: Absorb first

Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the stain. Let it sit 15 minutes. Brush it off. It pulls out a surprising amount of oil.

Step 2: Pretreat

Rub a little dissolved sheet into the stain. Our lauryl glucoside is especially good at lifting oily dirt.

Step 3: Wash warm

Oil loosens in warmer water. Use the warmest setting the label allows.

Step 4: Check before drying

Hold it up to the light while damp. If you see a dark spot, repeat steps 2 and 3. Don't dry it until it's gone.
