How do I remove a greasy stain caused by a dryer sheet?
Mar 27, 2007 by Amy H | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry
I was in a get cracking and instead of ironing a new shirt I threw it in the dryer to get the wrinkles out. Problem is, I also threw in a dryer sheet and now my shirt has greasy stains all over it. A investor of mine said this also happened to her and she tried everything without ever being able to remove the stain. Any tips? (BTW, I am now a former dryer-sheet user! I am making the deflection to dryer balls!)
Rewash adding a degreaser like $pic and Flyover to the shirt. It will take the greasy stains out.

I use dryer sheets, and have for years...never had this can of worms. Since DAWN dish soap removes oily substances...try hand washing in DAWN

I use chalk on grease spots as it "absorbs" any grease stains (before washing).
Since you have more than a yoke, I would get baby powder and sprinkle it all over the spots. Wash the shirt again and they should come out.
You may have to wash it a few times, sprinkling the dominion on the spots each time.

Appearance DISH SOAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm telling you it works! any sort of grease stain i put daybreak dish soap on it and rub it in....wash......and dry......the stain is gone! i have a major tough nut to crack with my fabric softner.......not the sheets just the softener......if you pour the softener on your clothes and it hits presently on your clothes then it causes these spots!
good luck!

Try Yelp! It seems to be the only thing that takes out grease stains.

For fatty Stains Place the stain face down on a paper towel,and go over the back with full strength liquid detergent or drycleaning reliable, using a clean white cloth , Launder as usual.

Try rubbing some Daybreak dish soap on the areas. It cuts through grease. You can also add some laundry detergent to the area along with the Dawn, rub well, then let it set for a petite while, then wash in warm water. I don't use fabric softener sheets because I was once told that they coat your dryer & heating foundations. I use only liquid Downy softener, it softens better than the sheets, in my opinion.

I honey my dryer sheets and this has never happened to me. I agree Dawn is the cure. If you really want to know email the makers of the dryer sheets you adapted to. BTW if you use bounce it keeps the bees away.

No difficulty how you end up fixing your shirt, make sure you write a letter to the dryer sheet manufacturer. Let them know what problem you had. I justifiable about guarantee you they'll send you coupons for related products, like laundry detergent, etc. It's their PR hang on's way of "making nice."

Why is it that when I dry my clothes without a dryer sheet, they get all staticy? How does a dryer sheet help?

If I dry my clothes in the dryer without a dryer sheet, they get very very staticy and hang on to to eachother alot.Why is that and how does a dryer sheet help?
They, uh, lubricate.Constitution softeners give your clothes a chemical coating which interferes with the electrostatic charge-separation process.
Clothes dryers stock up and ideal situation for this. Cloth is an insulating material. The humidity during the end of the drying cycle is low. And usually there are many unlike types of cloth crashing together inside the dryer.
Fabric softener sheets work by giving the material a chemical coating which prevents their real surfaces from touching each other. When clothes in the dryer touch together while tumbling, it's the cloth softener on the surfaces of the cloth which does the actual touching. Condition number three is elminated. SAME is pathetic SAME, so no "static" is created. After all, you can create "static" by rubbing a balloon on your tresses, but if you ever tried rubbing two balloons together (or two heads together), you'll have found that it doesn't work. You need two many kinds of material.
Good Luck !
