Washing is first carried out manually using ordinary soap and only after that the item is sent to the automatic machine.

If nothing is at hand, then a cotton pad will do. Now take a clean cotton pad, moisten it with oil and gently treat the surface of the stain. Replace the disc as it gets dirty. Carry out processing until the contamination is completely removed. Then the thing should be washed with laundry soap and washed in an “automatic machine” at the maximum temperature allowed for this fabric.
- A combination of baking soda and turpentine is another option for removing oil stains. Turpentine needs to be heated and poured onto the contaminated area. After half an hour, pour baking soda on the same area. Pour water over it and grind. Then rinse the item under running water and wash as usual.
