Grease stains are some of the most stubborn to remove. While it might be easy to toss out a piece of clothing that’s not one of your favorites or is no longer in great condition, if you’re attached to it, you’ll do whatever it takes to save it and wear it again.

One surprisingly effective method to get rid of grease stains is using Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. It might seem unconventional, but it makes sense. If the dish foam can cut through grease on your dishes, why wouldn’t it work on fabric?

Here’s how to use it: Simply apply the dish foam directly onto the grease stain, let it sit for about 5 minutes (or longer if needed), and then wash the item with your regular detergent. For tougher stains, repeat the process as necessary.

What makes this method so great is that it works on various fabrics like cotton, jeans, and polyester, and can even tackle old stains. However, if you’re planning to use it on delicate fabrics, it’s a good idea to do a patch test first to ensure the fabric won’t be damaged.

This trick can save you time and effort when doing laundry, especially if it’s a chore you’d rather avoid. Give it a try and watch those grease stains disappear!
