We’ve all faced the frustration of a greasy food stain ruining a favourite outfit, with some marks refusing to budge no matter how much stain remover we use.
But thanks to one viral TikTok hack, getting rid of stubborn grease stains is easier, and cheaper than you might think.
Content creator @hyperfocus_rewards has shared her secret weapon for tackling pesky oil stains, revealing that a household cleaning spray called Elbow Grease works wonders on clothes.
Typically used to remove grease and grime from kitchen surfaces, this powerful yet fabric-friendly solution is proving to be a game-changer in laundry routines.
In her viral video, she demonstrates how she sprays Elbow Grease directly onto the stained fabric before tossing it into the washing machine.
“You can absolutely use Elbow Grease directly on clothes before you put them in the wash,” she explains, showing how effortlessly the product lifts stubborn grease from garments.
The all-purpose degreaser, which retails for just £1.20 at ASDA, is widely available and is typically marketed for cleaning kitchen surfaces, bathroom tiles, and even vehicle engines.
However, its ability to gently break down grease without damaging delicate or coloured fabrics has made it a must-have laundry essential.
For best results, experts recommend spraying Elbow Grease onto the stain, letting it sit for five minutes, and then washing as usual with regular detergent.
Although the product is safe for most fabrics, users are advised to test a small hidden area first to ensure colour resistance.
With this budget-friendly hack taking TikTok by storm, tackling grease stains no longer has to be a laundry nightmare.
So, if you’ve got a stubborn stain that refuses to budge, it might be time to give this £1.20 miracle spray a try.
