Have you ever taken something out of the dryer, only to find those annoying grease-looking spots on it? For some reason, this happens to us every once in a while, and it always seems to be either one of our favorite items or one of our expensive items. Or, better yet, the first time we wash something new, it comes out with spots… so frustrating!!!

Here’s an example of some of my workout shorts. I pulled them out of the dryer, and they were covered in these grease spots. Check it out:

What in the world?? The only thing I could think of was maybe I left a chapstick in my pocket (yes, I keep one in my pocket when I run ;)). I went to my go-to Dawn Platinum Foam soap.

I put a squirt on each spot, and rubbed it in with my fingers. I let it sit for about 10 minutes like that.

I then washed and dried the shorts like normal. Check them out now!

SO much better! I’m so relieved to have a solution when these stains appear!
