How do i remove sunflower oil stains from my T-shirt?

1. Spread fabric/garment on a flat surface with the oil based stain facing up.

2. Sprinkle any type of baby powder (cornstarch or regular) generously over the stain. Don't be stingy with the powder

Let the powder rest on the stain for several hours or even overnight.

3. Brush or shake off the excess powder.

4. If the oil/powder residue raises up on the fabric, scrape it off, reapply powder and then let fabric rest again.

5. Wash or dry clean as usual.

6. If washed, check the spot before placing the fabric in the dryer.

7. If the oil spot is still there, rubbing alcohol might remove the spot, but alcohol could also lift the color so TEST in an inconspicous spot before using.

In South Africa we have a product called HANDY ANDY. It is a surface cleaner with an ammonia base. Spread some of this on the stain and leave for about 30 minutes before adding to your normal wash. If the stain is persistant, just repeat the process. I have removed oil stains from all washing (table cloths, clothing, tshirts, etc for years. It does not bleach the fabric and leaves no residue markings. Good luck.

This happens to me all the time. Like others have said, you can throw some talcum powder on it to soak up as much oil, but I use a gel paste made out of Dawn (the regular old blue stuff) dishwash detergent and hydrogen peroxide. I actually keep a spray-bottle on hand of this stuff. Equal parts will work. I even use this method and leave it to sit in the laundry hamper. If the oil stain is severe, I would wash it a couple times and only air dry it to ensure the stain is gone. Once you use the heat setting on that sucker, it will set the stain.

It may not be possible, but you could try squirting with washing up detergent first. Rub it in then wash in the usual way. Another way is to use a hot iron and put brown paper on the tee and iron over ther stain until the oil is in the paper instead.

try with some baking powder add a little water to a tablespoon of baking pwder and let it soak in then wash on 30c at first just in case the stain does´t come out first time the heat you add to a stain the harder it is to remove

Make a paste of Dawn and baking soda. Apply it to the stain and let it sit overnight. Then wash as usual.

Try to iron it with good brown paper on top of it. It normally pulls out stains

i would have said the brown paper bag trick but unfortunately you washed it first, i don't think there's much hope for it now, you've set the stain.

i use pears soap its g8 for oil stains.just dip in water and then rub on the clothes then wash as normal.
