A bit of this foaming soap goes a long way. Just a small squeeze on each grease spot, a gentle rub with your fingers to ensure full coverage, and let it sit for about five minutes before the wash.Proceed with your regular wash cycle using your favorite detergent – I swear by Tide Coldwater Clean for its effectiveness in cold water.
