Getting olive oil out of denim?

[Palmer]

I’m a certified slob and can testify that this stain removal technique is highly effective. It also works on leather.

I once managed to remove an oil stain with baby powder (it was all I had at the time being), but cornstarch or baking soda works better.

Anything to draw the oil out of the fabric really.

Had a big red wine scare over the weekend. Got some splash back on my white Pronto Anniversary tee. Mixed some dawn with peroxide, equal parts and it was worked like a charm.

It also works on Goo Gone. Got some caulk on a new pair of RGTs and the goo gone worked wonders, then the corn starch removed the goo gone.

[Matt]

Goo Gone is legit. I like the double tiered method as well. Nicely done.

@Matt that’s all thanks to the mommy blogs. Anytime I have a concern about fabric, I head to the mommy blogs lol.

[Matt]

They know what’s up. I live with a mommy blog and that’s where I get my intel.

Has anyone mentioned just dunking the whole pair of jeans into a bucket of olive oil yet? Sometimes ya gotta fight fire with fire. Complete the circle.

[Matt]

Sounds delicious.

Carry some crusty bread with you and just dab it on your pants when you need a snack.

I was at Sam’s Club last week buying bulk mayonnaise like all good midwesterners when I dropped a couple jars of bulk pesto (yes it’s a thing) and one exploded on my jeans and new kicks. It was a whole scene man. Anyway I used the corn starch on the jeans no problem and have been trying use it on the shoes too. Little tougher to get out of suede but I think it’s working

[popvulture]

I applaud your correct priorities in buying both bulk mayo and pesto. Go forth and slather!

@popvulture And slather I shall!!

[Matt]

I would have cried like one of my kids right in the middle of the store.

@Matt it was touch and go
