Grab a paper towel or an old, clean rag. Lay the stained area flat, if you can. Use the edge of a butter knife or a dull spoon to scrape off any thick, goopy grease. Do it gently. We’re not mining for gold here; we’re just removing the surface junk.
Now, place a clean paper towel under the fabric. Then, place another one on top of the stain. Press down firmly from the top. You want to transfer as much loose grease as possible onto that top towel. It’s like a grease hand-off. The bottom towel catches any drips that squeeze through.
Pro tip from a messy person:
Use a white paper towel. Colored ones can bleed dye onto your clothes. And nobody wants a grease stain with a pink polka-dot surprise. That’s just showing off.
