How can I remove a stain from sea buckthorn oil?

How to remove sea buckthorn oil from clothes? This question is often asked by the hostess. After all, the stain of sea buckthorn oil is one of the most persistent, and recipes that help cope with other impurities are powerless here. It is difficult to remove it, because the natural pigment present in sea buckthorn, binding to fat, becomes resistant, and soaks into the fabric, stains it.

But still the situation is not hopeless. If such pollution appears on clothing, you can wash it with folk methods or purchase special products to remove stubborn dirt. Of course, if sea buckthorn oil or a cosmetic product based on it got on clothes, it is advisable to immediately remove it, preventing it from drying out. Fresh contaminants are removed much more easily.

How to remove a fresh stain of sea buckthorn?

There are several tried-and-tested recipes to help cleanse things from sea buckthorn oil.

  • Pour over the spilled oil with boiling water and immediately wash clothes with ordinary laundry soap.
  • If you can’t do the laundry immediately, sprinkle the contaminated area with soda, potato or corn starch. As soon as the opportunity arises - soak the stained thing in a solution of Fairy and hot water. At the same time, dishwashing liquid can be additionally applied to the stained area and rubbed slightly before soaking. After 10-15 minutes, wash in the same solution. Sometimes you need to rub for a long time - up to 15 minutes, but the pollution must necessarily go away.
  • Mix turpentine and ammonia in equal proportions and treat the fresh contamination with the resulting mixture. After half an hour, wash clothes with any detergent.

  3. Add the remaining product to 10 liters of hot water and put the clothes on there for several hours, maybe at night.

After that, the thing is washed in the usual way.

Some useful tips

Old spots may not completely wipe off even when exposed to the “thermonuclear” chemistry itself. Sometimes, as a result of all efforts, a light orange blot still remains on the fabric. On white clothing, it can be discolored with hydrogen peroxide. The contaminated area is abundantly moistened with it, and after 15 minutes they are rinsed under running water. If necessary, repeat the procedure.

A stain from fabrics resistant to aggressive chemicals, such as cotton, can be removed with acetone. For other things, you can use acetone-free nail polish remover. It should be borne in mind that as a result, the scope of chemistry may become discolored, therefore, before use, it is necessary to test the agent in an inconspicuous area.
