1. ☕ Grease and food stains

Got a drop of olive oil or some sauce on your shirt?

Here’s what to do:

• Blot the stain (don’t rub!) with a dry cloth

• Sprinkle dish soap or baking soda directly on it

• Let it sit for 10–15 minutes

• Rinse with lukewarm water and wash at 30°C

💡 Avoid hot water – it will set the stain!
