Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain
The first step in getting those pesky scissors oil stains out of your apron is to pre-treat the stain with a small dab of liquid laundry detergent. Allow the detergent to sit on the stained area for at least 20 minutes before proceeding.
Step 2: Soak the Apron
Once the detergent has been given sufficient time to work its magic, fill a sink with warm water and submerge the apron in water. Let it soak for another 15-20 minutes to further help remove the stain. Make sure to agitate stain to help the water do its job.
Step 3: Wash Apron
Once the apron has been soaked, it’s time to give it a good washing. Put the apron in a washing machine with like colors — just remember to use a gentle cycle and cold water. Add a cup of vinegar in with the washing cycle to further help remove the stain. After the cycle has finished, hang the apron up to dry.
Step 4: Repeat if Necessary
If the stain doesn’t look like it’s been removed after going through the above steps, don’t worry — the stain may need a little extra love and care! Repeat the above steps again and try using a pre-treatment stain remover, such as one by Shout, to get the stain completely out of your apron.
Conclusion
With the steps listed above, you should easily be able to remove those pesky oil stains from your apron! Just remember to use a gentle cycle and cold water and add a bit of vinegar when washing — this will help ensure that the fabric stays protected while still getting the stain out. Happy cleaning!
