Reply to comment by awildhorsepenis in LPT: How to get grease spots out of pants by ChickenCheeks7

I usually rub in a little baking soda with the dawn: mild abrasive and its own stain-lifting power. This is my go-to household stain remover for all surfaces. For odor: vinegar. For blood: peroxide. For everything else dawn+baking soda!

Ymmv and often the “immediately” that is actually possible isn’t immediately enough to not have a bit of stain. But hydrogen peroxide, even when the stain is set, will denature those blood proteins right out of the fabric

Yeah hydrogen peroxide is better. Just providing an alternative for people who don’t have any around.

Oh I just throw it in the laundry. It's not the chemical but the concentration so a cup of lye in like a 20 gallon washing machine is fine and the lye saponifies all the oil/grease etc literally turning it into soap

I rub dawn into stain with my bare fingers most of the time, so I was picturing using lye for the same sort of spot treatment 😂😂😂
