[post_page_title]Treat greasy stains with salt[/post_page_title]
When it comes to removing stains from clothing, the general rule is that you need to act fast, before they really set. If you’re having dinner and drop some gravy on your favorite shirt, for instance, it would be ideal to wash it immediately.
