Finally, you can wash the material in the washing machine.
2. To remove oil stains on denim: Use dishwashing soap and bicarbonate to wash off the stain. Apply these items and rub the area, allowing it to rest for a few minutes. Then, wash the denim as usual in your washing machine. Remember not to use lemon or any citric acid; otherwise, the color will fade away and weaken the fibers.
