Using a soft bristle brush, apply the soapy paste to scissors oil stain. Allow it to sit for about five minutes before wiping it away with a damp cloth.Step 4: Rinse Away the Soapy Paste
Once the soapy paste has been wiped away, rinse the area with a damp cloth using cool water. This will help to remove any remaining soap residue.Step 5: Let the Area Air Dry
