Removing grease and oil stains from overalls can be a challenge, but with the right products and techniques, it doesn't have to be. First, start by filling a sink or bucket with only warm water. Then, add a few drops of either liquid dish soap or laundry detergent and stir the solution until suds start to form.
Once the suds are created, put the stained overalls into the sudsy water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. After overalls have soaked for at least 10 minutes, remove them from the water and gently rub the stained areas with a cloth or sponge. This will help to loosen up the grease and oil in the fabric.
After rubbing the stained areas, rinse the overalls with cold water to remove sudsy water and soap. Once they are rinsed off, add a few drops of laundry stain remover to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before washing. If the stain is still visible after this step, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.
Finally, wash the overalls according to the care instructions on the tag. The last step is to hang the overalls to dry, preferably in an area that gets some sun exposure. This helps to naturally bleach the fabric and make it look like new again.
