How many times have you taken a bite of a roll or a piece of pizza only to have a bit of butter or grease run down your chin and land right on your shirt?

To get a dried butter stain out of clothing, first dampen the stain with some warm water. Then, squirt a dollop of dish soap directly on the stain. Rub the soap into the stain with your finger using a smooth circular motion. Rinse the stain under warm water, then spray it with some prewash stain remover. Machine wash your garment like normal. To remove a dried butter stain, try using baking soda. Sprinkle the baking soda over the stain so it's completely covered, then let it sit overnight. The next day, shake the baking soda off and machine wash your garment. Repeat these steps as needed until the butter stain is gone. If you're dealing with a butter stain that's still wet, first scrape up any globs of butter. Then, dip a napkin in warm water and coat it in salt. Put a dry napkin behind the stain to brace the fabric, then press the salt-soaked napkin against the butter stain without rubbing. Hold it there for 30 seconds to give the salt time to absorb the oils. Finally, rinse the area off with warm water. If you want to learn how to get rid of butter using cornstarch, keep reading!
