How do you get car oil out of jeans?
I’m in my first week working at a car maintenance shop. I love it, but my jeans keep getting oil on them. Is there a trick for getting the oil out?

Ah yes, the one major downfall of working at
a repair shop
is the mess! If you follow these steps, your pants should be good to go:- Lay your clothing flat
- Place an old towel or cardboard under the stained area
- Take some dish detergent and apply it to the oil stain
- Rub the detergent with a soft cloth gently to saturate the stain
- Add baking soda to the stain and let sit until hardened
- Rinse
- Wash your jeans as you normally would
- Let them air dry
If that doesn’t work, and you’ve tried it a few rounds, you may have to resort to work specific clothes. While not ideal, you at least won’t have to worry about constant stain removal!
Since you are starting a new career in car maintenance, make sure your car has the best protection as well. To keep your car safe on the road,
