Peanut oil is recognized for its health benefits, versatility and mild nutty flavor. It is often used for deep-frying turkey. Accidentally spilling or transferring peanut oil onto clothing can cause fabric to become marred with dark, oily blotches. Peanut oil continues to absorb into fabric fibers the longer it remains on clothing. Oil stains often become more difficult to remove overtime. Promptly remove peanut oil stains to restore the garment's aesthetic appeal.
