How to Get Oil Out of Curtains

Kitchen curtains hanging near the stove may get stained due to splattering oil or grease. Oil stains can ruin the look of your curtains so remove the spots to keep the window coverings looking fresh. There is no need to spend money on new curtains when you can simply remove the oil stains. Most kitchen curtains are made of a casual cotton fabric; thus, for best results, use the correct laundering techniques.
