How to Remove Grease and Oil Stains with Alondra Powder Detergent
Grease and oil stains are some of the toughest messes to tackle in laundry. Whether it’s a cooking spill, a car repair mishap, or an oily food stain, these marks can be stubborn and hard to remove with regular detergent alone. The good news is that with the right approach and products, you can restore your clothes and fabrics to a like-new clean.
Alondra Powder Detergent with OxyHelp is specially formulated to break down grease and lift embedded oils from fabrics. Its powerful blend of detergents and oxygen-based cleaners targets both visible and hidden residues, leaving your laundry clean, fresh, and residue-free.
Why Grease Stains Are So Difficult
Unlike water-based stains, grease and oil don’t dissolve easily in water. They cling to fabric fibers, especially synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. When washed incorrectly, these stains can spread or even “set” deeper into the material, making them harder to remove later.
That’s why choosing a detergent that cuts through oil effectively is key. Alondra Powder Detergent uses an oxygen-boosted formula that lifts and suspends oils so they can rinse away completely, even in cooler water temperatures.
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Grease and Oil Stains
Follow these steps to get the best results every time:
Step 1: Blot, Don’t Rub
If the stain is fresh, blot the area gently with a paper towel or clean cloth to absorb as much oil as possible. Avoid rubbing — it only pushes the grease deeper into the fabric.
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain
Mix a small amount of Alondra Powder Detergent with OxyHelp and warm water to create a paste. Apply it directly to the stain and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. This pre-treatment gives the active cleaning agents time to break down the oils before washing.
Step 3: Add to Wash
For a standard load, use about ½ cup of Alondra Powder Detergent. For heavy-duty cleaning or larger loads, you can increase the amount slightly. Wash using the warmest water temperature safe for your fabric.
Step 4: Inspect Before Drying
Check the garment before placing it in the dryer. Heat can permanently set any remaining oil, so if the stain is still visible, repeat the process before drying.
Step 5: For Stubborn or Set-In Stains
If the stain remains after washing, boost your cleaning power by adding Alondra OxyHelp Powdered Stain Remover to your next load. It works alongside your detergent to remove deep-set oils and other organic stains like blood, grass, and food residues.
Extra Tips for Success
Use hot water for cotton fabrics whenever possible, since heat helps dissolve oils.
Avoid fabric softeners when treating grease stains, as they can trap residues and reduce cleaning performance.
For delicates or sensitive materials, test your pre-treatment on an inconspicuous area first.
Don’t overload the washer. Give fabrics enough room to move freely so the detergent can work effectively.
