What You'll Need:
- Cornstarch
- Soap that is safe for delicate fabrics
- Clean cloth
- Cold water
Instructions:
- Apply cornstarch onto the stained area of your chambray item. Cornstarch absorbs the oil and helps you remove it easily.
- 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.
- Brush off the cornstarch with a clean cloth. This will help loosen up any remaining oil.
- Soak the stained area in cold water. This will help rid fabric of any excess oil.
- 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.
- 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.
