When it comes to removing grease and oil stains from cotton piqué, the best way is to use a combination of laundry detergent and water. Start by diluting your laundry detergent with warm water and soaking the affected area for 15-30 minutes. Once soaked, gently rub the stain with a soft brush or cloth. After that, rinse the area with clean water and let it air dry. If the stain persists, you can try using a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice to help loosen the grease or oil.

If the stain is still there after you rinse it, you can try using a degreasing product such as Woolite Oxi. Make sure to read the instructions on package before use and follow them carefully. After applying the product, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry. If the stain is still visible, you can repeat the process until it is completely gone.

For tougher stains, you may need to use a spot cleaner or pre-treatment before washing. Be sure to read the product directions and test it on a small, hidden area first. Then apply it to the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes before rinsing and laundering as usual.

Finally, once the stain is gone, you should wash the item as soon as possible to prevent the grease or oil from setting. Use warm or cold water and a gentle cycle, and add a fabric-safe stain remover or color-safe bleach if necessary.

With these tips, you’ll be able to easily remove grease and oil stains from cotton piqué. Remember to always follow the directions carefully and test any products or solutions on a small, hidden area before using.
