If you’ve ever used scissors on a poncho, chances are you’ve encountered scissors oil stains. The oil can leak out of the blades and leave greasy, discolored spots on fabric. With a few simple steps, however, you can successfully remove the stains without too much difficulty.

What You'll Need

  • A clean cloth
  • Dish soap
  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • rag

Instructions for Removing Scissors Oil Stains

  1. First, use a clean cloth to gently blot away any excess oil from the stained area. Be careful not to rub the cloth too hard, as this could spread the stain.
  2. Mix one part dish soap with one part baking soda to form a paste. Spread the paste directly on the stain, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Wet a rag or cloth with cold water, then dab it onto the paste to remove it. If you find that the paste has been absorbed into the fabric, you can use a toothbrush to scrub off any remaining residue.
  4. Mix equal parts vinegar and cold water in a spray bottle. Spray the stain with the mixture, then blot away solution with a dry cloth.
  5. Let the poncho air-dry completely, then check to see if the stain has been removed.
