Vaseline, a petroleum jelly-based product, is commonly used for its moisturizing and protective properties. However, when it gets on clothing, it can leave behind greasy, stubborn stains. Removing Vaseline from clothing requires a specific approach to effectively lift the stain without damaging the fabric.
The key to removing Vaseline from clothing is to break down the greasy residue using a solvent and then lift it away from the fabric. Common solvents effective against Vaseline include dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and WD-40. It’s essential to test the solvent on an inconspicuous area of the garment first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.
