Imagine this: One moment, you are riding your bike, working on your car, or eating a delicious slice of pizza while resting your back against a vehicle, and the next moment, you are staring down a big oil/grease stain on your favorite pair of jeans and wondering if you’ll ever be able to wear them again. 

Luckily, there is an easy way to remove grease stains from jeans, provided you act immediately when you notice the stains. Use an expert, reliable, and effective stain solver, such as Vanish, to remove grease stains successfully. 

Learn how to get grease out of jeans and preserve their appearance, shine, durability, and luxuriousness.

The sooner, the better—that is the general rule of thumb when dealing with any type of stain. If you wait, the grease stains will worsen as they fall deeper into the fabric’s fibers. 

If you are out and about and can’t soak or wash the stained garments, you can pre-treat the stain using Vanish Pre-Treat Oxi Action Stain Remover Spray - safe for use on everyday fabrics, colors, and whites, to remove the grease stains from jeans. 

Before you do anything else, grab a paper towel or microfiber cloth, fold it in half, and gently dab the grease stain, soaking up any excess grease on the jean’s surface. 

Then, rinse your jeans under clean and lukewarm water until the stained area is completely wet, making the entire grease stain removal process much easier. 

After that, to remove grease stains from jeans, use Vanish Oxi Action Powder, which contains an Oxi Advance formula to remove ink stains, neutralize odors, eliminate 99.9% germs, and protect colors.

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.

Option 1: Pre Treat

1. Add ¼ scoop (15g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in the water (MAX 40°C)

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Apply the mixture directly onto the stain, rub it gently, and let it sit for 10 mins (do not allow Vanish to dry on the fabric. 

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 2: Soak

1. Add 1 scoop (60g) of Vanish Oxi Action Powder in 4L of water.

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Soak colored clothes in the solution for 1h max, and for whites, it's 4h max.

4. Wash as usual. 

Option 3: Wash

Add Vanish Oxi Action Powder to your machine on top of your laundry detergent. Below are the recommended stain remover dosages:

• ½  scoop (30g) for normal stains.

• 1 scoop (60g) for tough & dried stains.

Set-in/Dried Grease Stain Removal from Jeans 

There’s no need to panic if the grease stain has dried or set in the jeans. Use Vanish Multi Use Liquid Stain Removal, specifically developed for dried stains. It is 3x better than bleach and safe on colors and fabrics.

INSTRUCTIONS

Soak

1. Add 10 ml of Vanish Multi Use Liquid Stain Removal to 1 liter of water (40°C max).

2. Leave the jeans in the solution for 1h max.

Is it advisable to pre-treat the grease stain with laundry detergent before washing the jeans?

No, pre-treating the stained area only with a high-quality stain remover, such as Vanish, guarantees the best chance at successful grease stain removal. 

Is it better to air dry or machine dry jeans after treating a grease stain?

It is better to air dry the jeans after treating grease stains because machine drying might make cleaning much more difficult if the stain isn't fully removed.

What should I do if the grease stain persists?

If the grease stains persist, repeat the stain removal procedure using Vanish, whether pre-treat, soaking, or washing through the washing machine.
