During this holiday season there’s a good chance you will get grease on your tablecloth. If your cloth is fabric,ugh! Well, try this remedy to lift the grease away: blot the stain with a paper towel then apply a few drops of dishwashing liquid, NOT laundry detergent. Let this saturate the cloth for several minutes, then wash in your washing machine using cold water. Dish soap is designed to attract grease and flush it away unlike laundry detergent which is formulated to lift dust and dirt away.
