Yes, this sounds weird, but…
After putting on globs of vaseline on my lips (my lips are very dry), I decided to go and try on a couple of shalwar kameezes to see which one I should wear to a wedding. And without realizing, my lips skimmed the cloth and this oily stain showed up on the stomach area of the shirt!! Any ideas on how to get it out? The cloth seems delicate so I don’t want to throw it in the washer. And it is in an area which can’t really be covered up…
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
covering ti with talcum powder may help, works on oil
or just take it to the cleaners
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
not sure, maybe cleaners is the best idea.
p,s,… try “la’do sabun”… or " ga’ay soap" or maybe “teitter soap” … can get them from pakistan… they work wonders 
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
talcum powder and a warm iron with a blotting cloth.
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
i would try washing just that part of kameez with a soap..rub a little bit, and it should be fine...
please do not use telcum powder, it will just make it worst...
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
realize that vaseline is petroleum based but very light so it does break down in water, concentrated cleaner could work, some alcohol could break it up etc.
at times like these I always ask, what is my experiment fails. and usually the right answer then is to let drycleaners handle it.
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
The best way to confirm is to try the technique on an inconspicuous area.
Some fabrics will eventually fade out a greasy stain while they will not tolerate cleansing with any type of soap and water.
If you the article of clothing is precious, take it to the cleaner.

I left chapstick in my jeans and put it in the wash. Some of my precious T's. :(
But that's ok, I usually roll right out of bed anyway, what's a few grease stains.
Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
I dont know what would work on the stains but just to caution you agianst the dry cleaners. They ruined some of my kaam walay kapray where the beads etc came loose and teh whole look was ruined.

Re: How to get out Vaseline from Shalwar Kameez
does the talcum powder thing work on oil?
i got some haleem on a sari (in my defence it was not my fault) and i washed it out but there is still an oil stain
its a pale pink sari so it sticks out a lot, would be great if i could remove it completely
