This cleaning option helps to remove even stubborn grease.

Dishwashing liquid

You need to make a simple solution of 500 ml of water and 2 teaspoons of detergent.

Then you need to soak a cotton pad in this mixture and clean your clothes with it. After that, rinse the contaminated area with clean water.

Laundry soap

First, the stain needs to be moistened with warm water and then soaped with laundry soap.

After 20 minutes, all that remains is to remove the remaining product and rinse the fabric.

If we are talking about old dirt, then you will have to remove the soap residue in an hour or two.
