A CLEANING whizz has unveiled her clever method to get tough grease stains out of clothes… and it’s dirt cheap too.
Chantel Mila often uses her social media account to share her top tips and tricks when it comes to having a sparkling home.
And while she usually likes to tackle hard-to-reach areas of the house, in one video she decided to give a laundry hack.
“How to rid tough oil stains,” she wrote over the clip as she showed several marks on a piece of fabric.
She first put the item of clothing flat on a table before placing a plate on top of the area with the stain on it.
Flipping it over, she then placed a tablespoon of dish soap to “cut through the oil” and then sprinkled the area with baking soda.
