You will need

- Colourless moisturising lip balm
- A bottle of cola
- Paper towel, ie kitchen towel

METHOD

Treat the stain as soon as possible.

Put the oil stain face down on some paper towel, then rub the lip balm onto the back of the stain. This will make the oil stain lift.

Put the garment into the washing machine, but instead of using washing detergent, pour a bottle of cola into the drum of the washing machine and run a 30 degree wash.

The sugars and phosphoric acid will break down the grease stain.
