This tip is illustrated by Yelitza Alvarez (on Instagram @veraloficial) - a content creator specializing in household cleaning advice. The video is short but very clear and the steps of this technique are simple.

To verify this for yourself, get a shirt that has an oil stain on it and proceed as follows:

  • Place a plate under the area of the shirt to be treated;
  • Pour a little liquid dish detergent on the stain - this will help dissolve the grease in the stain;
  • To enhance the power of the dish soap, add baking soda and let it act for a few minutes;
  • Rub the paste that will be created from mixing the two products into the stain by using an old toothbrush;
  • At this point, you can rinse out the treated area. Then put the shirt into the washing machine for a regular wash. You will soon see that the stain will be completely gone.

You can see all these steps in detail by watching the video on @veraloficial's Instagram profile.
