What is the best way to remove castile soap from fabric?

1 Answer

Answer :

Try soilove, it’s terrific at removing grease and oil. Put a towel beneath the fabric and using room temp to cool (not cold) water press the water through onto the towel. Keep turning the towel beneath. DO NOT PUT IN DRYER UNTIL IT IS OUT! Heat sets a stain. Or take to a dry cleaner and tell them what the stain is. Probably the safest! Good luck!
