Are you a messier eater than most? Whether it’s a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we’ve all been caught in a situation where we’ve spilled something on our clothes, the worst culprit of all: oil. But don't fret, dear members of the Seniors Discount Club, because we have discovered a fantastic little secret that turns an unlikely beauty product into a powerful ally in the battle against oil stains. And it's something you might already have hiding in your bathroom cabinet: dry shampoo!


You read that correctly!

In a video that has been viewed more than three million times, @imaanduh explains how she removed an oil stain from her shirt in no time with just a bottle of dry shampoo. She demonstrated the process by saying, 'Obviously I have an oil stain on my shirt. I was eating pasta'.

In the video, she then sprays the dry shampoo onto the offending stain, lets it sit for an hour, and then simply wipes it off with a cloth – leaving no trace of the stain behind! 'Dry shampoo is a hack,' she confirmed.


As you can imagine, members, this clever trick quickly went viral, with people in utter disbelief that the oil stain simply disappeared after applying dry shampoo to it.

One person commented, 'WHAT!!!!!!!! This is brilliant,' while another added their own hack by saying, 'Also, baby powder on oil stains works too!'

Now, if you don't happen to have a bottle of dry shampoo or baby powder nearby, there are other tried-and-tested home remedies for banishing oil stains. Most households will have dishwashing liquid on hand, and it happens to be one of the most popular and easily accessible ways to treat oil-stained clothes.

Dishwashing liquid is not only good for household oil and grease removal. I regularly get a mark on my leggings from accidently leaning against the exhaust pipe of my car. I rub a little bit of the liquid in and hey presto - the mark is gone.
