How to Remove Oil and Grease From a Linen Tablecloth
- 1). Lay the area of the linen tablecloth with the oil and grease on a towel. Keep the oil and grease facing outward and up.
- 2). Remove excess oil and grease by carefully scooping it off the linen tablecloth with a butter knife or spoon.
- 3). Cover any remaining oil or grease with baking soda and let it sit for 10 minutes. Hold the linen tablecloth over a trash can and gently dust off the baking soda with a cloth.
- 4). Rub a prewash stain treatment directly on the oil and grease stain until it is well saturated. Let it sit for 15 minutes before laundering the linen tablecloth as you normally would.
- 5). Remove the linen tablecloth immediately from the washing machine and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
