This is why it’s important to get rid of the stain before it has the chance to set into the fibres of the fabric. Use a washing detergent, like Ariel, with enzymes to remove the various componenents of the stain effectively. Follow our Ariel stain soutions and tips for butter stain removal.
Removing butter and margarine stains
1
Remove excess
Scrape off any excess butter stains from the garment before rinsing under warm, running water.

Pour
Pour Ariel Original Washing Liquid from either the bottle or the cap directly onto the butter stain, enough to completely cover it.

Load
Without rinsing off the liquid detergent, place the garment into the wash along with similar items. Leaving the washing detergent on the butter stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

5
Wash
Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated by the instructions on the garment’s care label.

Unload
When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
