The one product I've found that removes all kinds of greases and oils has been Greased Lightning. I first began using it on nonporous surfaces, but found it works well on clothing too.

If the oil has been "set" in the dryer, you may never get it out. A napkin in the lap works well, too... :)

shampoo work great on oil stains also LA's awesome cleaner works good too!

.... lean over your plate. I have a hubby that does this to his shirts, not fun trying to get out. I fail.

You ladies are funny. You've sort of taken the stance of the comedian who asks why so many inquire about how to get rid of ring around the collar, when all the hubby has to do is "wash his neck".

Greased Lightening is the only thing I have found to be effective on grease/oil stains. I spray it on the grease, roll the shirt up and let sit for about 30 minutes, then launder as usual. You can find this product even at Dollar Stores. It's great.

Greased Lighting IS great....reminds me of the old 409 and even (I swear) took out black ball point pen when I treated hubby's shirt immediately and rinsed in in the sink in cold water and tehen retreated and put it in the washer....HOWEVER for something that has been through the dryer...I have personally used GOJO (White grease looking hand cleaner that mechanics use) purchased at walmart in the automotive section...and gotten out that thick deisel grease stain from my hubby's shirts ...»

Greased Lightning is great for all sorts of cleaning, but don't let it get on painted surfaces- it will take the paint off! If it's a fresh stain, try rubbing chalk on it- I haven't tried it, but read somewhere that it will absorb the oil.

PUT - Dawn soap on it ;let soak in overnight and wash ; Helps w/ greasy food stains!
