Mrs Hinch fans swear by £1 bathroom staple to lift grease stains from clothes

There's nothing worse than being out and about with your best glad rags on, and dropping something greasy down your front, only for it to leave a horrible stain that you assume will never come out - it's enough to make your heart sink.

But what if there was a method to get rid of the grease stain, leaving your clothes looking as good as new? You'd want to know, right?

Mrs Hinch fans have taken to Facebook to share their favourite method of removing grease stains - and it's with a product you likely already have lurking in your kitchen cupboard.

In the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group, one distressed woman wrote: "What is the best product to clean clothes that smell of grease and have grease spots on the clothes?"

They then clarified they were asking for their neighbour as they make donuts, but of course, grease stains can happen whilst consuming food as well - and they're seriously pesky.

In the comments section, many people suggested using bicarbonate of soda as a method of getting rid of the stains, and it can be picked up from some stores for as little as £1.19.

A top contributor wrote: "For grease spots sprinkle with bicarb lightly rub in and cover with Elbow grease spray, leave for 15 mins spray more, rub and wash.

"For getting rid of grease smells from clothes in the wash add two cups of bicarb in the drum with the clothing and two cups white vinegar in the fabric conditioner compartment in your normal washing detergent on the hottest wash."

"Bicarb of soda in the washing machine", another suggested.

Someone else commented: "Put bicarbonate of soda in the washing machine with white vinegar works wonders!"
