One of easiest ways to remove oil and grease stains from hair ties is to use a household hair dryer. Heat and air will help to lift away some of grease and allow you to wipe the stained area with a damp cloth. Make sure you move hair dryer continuously over the stained area and avoid keeping it in one spot too long.

Method 3: Cornstarch
If stain is particularly stubborn, try sprinkling a bit of cornstarch onto affected area. Allow the cornstarch to sit on the stained area for at least 30 minutes before brushing it off with a clean cloth.
