Getting olive oil out of denim?

[Matt]

I had to do this on my new brown GAH shirt after only one wear recently. Worked like a charm.

@Matt Thanks…I’ve never heard of this technique and will give it a go. I’ve always used dawn dish soap but it required some hot water to make it work. Glad to find a tried and true alternative

Brilliant! Thanks, Matt!

[Matt]

Happy to spread the love. I had to do it to my green easy shorts in Orlando last week too. It’s possible I may be a slob.

More than once a week is a problem

Maybe it’s baby oil from his gig at the local strip club….

[Matt]

That’s dumb Dennis. I don’t wear clothes there so how would I get the baby oil on them.

[SKT]

Some visual proof that this method is working. Damn I love a good hack…thanks again @Matt

[Matt]

That’s it! Don’t panic if the first wash doesn’t get it out. I’ve had this method work even after the garment has been through the dryer.

Just an update that one treatment with the corn starch was all it took to get the oil out. Worked like a charm.

Am I the only one questioning whether it was actually olive oil…?

[Matt]

This is a judgement free zone. Either way, corn starch ftw.

[SKT]

Anything other than the truth would have been way more exciting…

@Nocturama

There’s a guy on IG whose entire account is based on deliberately doing what I believe you are alluding to. He doesn’t use the corn starch

[Nocturama]

Yeah, that’s not the kind of thing that just mysteriously slides into your search feed. The algorithm knows you pretty well I guess.
