What is the most effective method to remove oil stains?
1 Answers
Using alcohol washing, gasoline mixing, alkene material wiping, or baking soda soaking are the most effective methods to remove oil stains. Alcohol washing: Alcohol can act as a decolorizing agent and is easily soluble in water and organic solvents. Engine oil is a mixture of several alkanes, which are organic compounds soluble in alcohol. The higher the alcohol concentration, the better, with anhydrous alcohol being the most effective. Gasoline mixing: Gasoline can effectively remove oil stains, but excessive use should be avoided as it may leave additional gasoline stains. Alkene material wiping: For heavy oil stains, wiping with alkene materials can yield better results. Baking soda soaking: Baking soda can dissolve engine oil, and soaking with baking soda can help remove oil stains.
