So the other day I was eating a taco and it was kind of greasy and I got some grease on my shirt. Ugh. The bad thing was that I did not realize it until later. A set in grease stain sucks, right. So I washed the shirt, but the stain did not come out completey. Darn, another shirt ruined. Yesterday, I Googled "How to get rid of grease stains" and something unexpected came up. TONS of people said to pour BABY POWDER on the stain and let it sit on the spot for at least 12 hours.
Baby powder?? What? Okay, well, I have baby powder at home and so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Last night I layed the shirt out, grabbed the powder and put some on. I just used enough to cover the spot well, it wasn't a huge pile. I let it sit on there overnight and then I brused the powder off this morning. I wish I had a before and after picture, but I didn't think of it until now.
Even after just brushing the powder off, it looked like the stain was gone. I washed the shirt and hung it up to air dry. (Don't want it to shrink) It's not completely dry yet, but I keep checking on it and so far it looks like the stain is completely gone! Awesome!
If you try it let me know if it worked for you.
