When a jacket starts to get oily, many people think it can't be saved.
Of course, regular washing may not help at all.
Therefore, it is worth looking at a few tricks and tips that will help you get rid of the oily shine on your jacket.
Which washing method to choose
The first step to getting rid of the oily shine on your jacket is to wash it properly.
It is important to use a mild detergent and cold water. For more intensive cleaning, you can add vinegar or soda to the washing powder.
Of course, if we consider serious contamination, then washing will not help, it only acts as a preventative measure, you should definitely not expect a “miracle” from this method.
Use of ammonia
Ammonia is a powerful fat-fighting agent. Simply apply a small amount of ammonia to grease stains on your jacket before washing.
Ammonia should not be left on the surface for more than 5 minutes. It is also worth remembering that ammonia can be destructive to some types of fabric.
Applications of Corn Starch
After washing and drying the jacket, you can apply cornstarch to the greasy areas and leave for several hours.
This method can be called preventive, but it is definitely worth trying. Its main advantage is safety.
Using Vinegar
Vinegar is another effective way to remove grease. Mix equal parts vinegar and water. Then soak the jacket in the solution for 15 minutes and then rinse.
