Use Chalk to Absorb Grease

We've got another hack for grease stains because, lets be honest, we could use all the help we can get with these pesky spots.

You can also use baby powder if you don't have chalk around the house. Both of them work very well, and you'll be amazed how it removes the stains in a moment.
