What You'll Need:

  • Cornstarch
  • Soap that is safe for delicate fabrics
  • Clean cloth
  • Cold water

Instructions:

  1. Apply cornstarch onto the stained area of your chambray item. Cornstarch absorbs the oil and helps you remove it easily.
  2. Leave the cornstarch on for about 30 minutes. It should absorb most of the oil on contact. If stain lingers, you may need to leave it on for an hour.
  3. Brush off the cornstarch with a clean cloth. This will help loosen up any remaining oil.
  4. Soak the stained area in cold water. This will help rid fabric of any excess oil.
  5. Wash the item with soap that is safe for delicate fabrics. It is best to wash it by hand as opposed to throwing it into washing machine.
  6. Rinse the item in cold water and dry it with a clean cloth.

Tips:

  • Do not use hot water on the stained area as this may cause oil to set further into the fabric.
  • Act quickly when dealing with oil stains on your chambray. The sooner you treat the stain, the better the result.
  • Check to make sure the soap you are using is specifically meant for delicate fabrics.
  • If the stain persists, try soaking the item in a solution of liquid laundry detergent and water and then rewash it.
