GET RID OF oil stains in your clothing

Will most definately try this one. My kids are always getting stains in their clothing. That's teens for you

or spray it with degreaser i work on cars so it helps with motor oil prob work with cooking oil

The heat from the iron melts/softens the oil and then the talc powder absorbs it away from the fabric, and the paper towel keeps it all from getting the iron grotty and spreading it everywhere and making it worse. Thus, it will work with pretty much any kind of oil or wax based product, including engine grease. You're a clever guy for knowing that one! See, vegging in front of the TV can be useful after all! Fetch him another beer Alana, quick, you never know when he might learn something else useful! LOL

However, with things like oil paints it will lift the oil fine, but it may not lift all of the actual pigment, so that might have to be dealt with another way... like wearing a paint smock. LOL

i will definately do this. my hubby has SOOooooo many clothes from working on or cars full of oil stains.

Thanks so much.

good writing and you is a good man tooo to be on thissite. men hav heaps to share too. i like your idea lots and will use it nex time i iron on sum of me girls clothes.

I will have to bookmark this and give it a go next time hubby is deep frying! lol.  I do find though, that our wash boost does tend to get it out as well.

Great advice matey and will be sure to try this if mick and brodie get oil on their clothes,...

This is a good trick, I have heard of something similar working... When I used to work for Honda, my boss got some grease on my suit.  I was going to give him the dry cleaning bill, but he got it off with baby wipes, it was like new.
