I was shopping downtown this past weekend and came across dress after dress that I loved but wasn't on super clearance...I finally came across a store that had dresses for $9.99! Instead of buying something because I absolutely loved it, I bought this dress on impulse because it was cheap. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was not wearing an apron while I cooked and washed the dishes the first time I wore this dress...hence, all the grease spots!!Before I throw this dress away (because of the grease stains) do any of you have any ideas on how to cover grease stains, or even get rid of them? Should I try dying it? Or would the grease stain still exist, just in a different color? I tried a spot cleaner and then washed the dress, but as you can see, it didn't work. :-(
And yes, I just got out of the shower, so my hair is still wet and I have no make-up on so my face is super shiny!
I'm thinking this was a big waste of $10! :-(
I don't know anything about taking out stains, but i don't think the dress is all that bad, actually i think its kinda cute.

I think it's a cute color on you. You could try the Orange scrub that N has used to take grease off his skin when working on the car, etc. I think C has used it too. Anyways, I've used this orange stuff to take grease out of clothing before. It's worth a shot if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteIf someone knows the cure for grease stains I think we'd all like to know, since anyone who has ever cooked with oil I'm sure has these stains on one or more of their clothes. I know I do! Cute dress, even if you only got to wear it out once it's not a waste of money...not for $10! lol:)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable! Hopefully someone has an idea that can help you salvage it. While I don't have any of my own I googled it and found this site filled with lots of them: http://members.tripod.com/~Barefoot_Lass/grease.html
ReplyDeleteYou look super cute, especially for just getting out of the shower!
I heard that Dawn Dishwashing soap usually does the trick. However, if you've already washed it I'm not sure it it'll still work.

Try Shout spray, it's always worked for me. I get lots of grease stains.
