How to Remove Body Oil Stains

Molly Maid offers expert tips for removing body oil stains from clothing.

A little body oil stain around the collar can be treated with this quick home cleaning tip from Molly Maid. This can save lots of time and money every year by getting more miles out of clothes that might have been considered ruined.

How it's done: All that’s needed to remove body oil stains is a paintbrush and shampoo. Use the brush to spread the shampoo over the area that’s stained with body oil, and then clean the same way the garment is normally washed. This can make unsightly stains disappear in the same time it takes to do a regular load of laundry. This tip is great for last-second cleaning of dress shirts before a big event.
