If you’ve ever had the misfortune of an oil stain from scissors on your stockings, you know that it can be difficult to remove. But don’t worry -- we have a few tips to help you save your stockings and restore them back to their pristine condition!
- Start by blotting the stain with a clean white rag or paper towel. Gently dab at the stained area to absorb as much of oil as possible.
- Once the oil has been absorbed, pour some baking soda onto stain and gently rub it in. This will help gently lift away any remaining oil.
- For stubborn stains, mix equal parts dish soap and vinegar together and apply it to the stain. This mixture should penetrate and break down stain, making it easier to remove.
- Once the stain has been treated with the soap and vinegar mixture, blot it with a clean white cloth or paper towel to absorb any extra oils.
- Gently rinse the area with cold water and then lay flat to dry.
Your stockings should now look brand new! If the stain persists, you may need to repeat the steps above to completely remove it. If you found these tips helpful, don’t hesitate to use them for any other clothing stains!
