How to Remove Butter Stains from Clothes
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churning milk or cream, sometimes adding salt. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as a fat in baking, sauce-making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures.
It is safe to say that everything tastes better with butter. Still, at some point in our lives, we all end up with a butter stain on our clothes, whether we use it for spreads, flavoring, cooking, or sautéing.
Fortunately, it is very easy to remove stains from all types of clothes without too much hassle as long as you act fast and use a high-quality stain solver, such as Vanish.
Here are more details on how to remove butter stains from clothes, ensuring you can restore your favorite shirt or jeans to tip-top shape without permanent grease marks.
Butter Stains Removal from Clothes
Start the stain-removal process by gently scraping away solid butter with the edge of a spoon or knife. After that, blot any remaining residue with a dry and clean paper towel or microfiber cloth.
Remember not to rub the stain vigorously, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric. Afterward, use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White Powder to remove the turmeric stain from white clothes; for colored clothes, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder.
There are three methods for utilizing Vanish products to eliminate stains: Pre-treat, Soaking, and adding directly to the Wash.
Although pre-treatment and soaking are typically reserved for tough stains, the in-wash method is the simplest and can be combined with pre-treat or soaking.
