Step 1: Make note of the type of fabric used.

The first thing you need to do before attempting to remove grease and oil stains from a Burberry product is to identify the type of fabric it is made from. Burberry garments and accessories are typically made with cotton and other natural fibers. If there is any other synthetic material involved, this should also be noted.

Step 2: Use a cleaning solution.

Once you’ve identified the fabric, you can use a cleaning solution specifically designed for that fabric type. Look for an oil-based cleaner or degreaser that is designed for delicate fabrics. Apply cleaner to the stain using a rag or sponge and allow it to sit for about five minutes. This will give the cleaner enough time to break down the grease and oil.

Step 3: Wash item in warm water.

After cleaner has had sufficient time to work its magic, gently wash the item in warm water. Make sure to use a mild detergent, as harsher cleaning products may cause damage to fabric. After washing, rinse the item completely and allow it to air dry.

Step 4: Avoid heat.

Do not apply any type of heat to the Burberry item. While some fabrics can be safely dried with a hairdryer or iron, doing so with Burberry fabric can damage the product. Instead, simply lay the item flat and allow it to dry naturally. Once it has dried completely, you should notice that the stain has been removed.
