I was recently enjoying a shrimp dish with a lemon, garlic and butter sauce. Of course I landed I big drop of the sauce on my shirt. I’ve tried pre-treating with a laundry spray, but had no luck. I also tried pre-treating with some Dawn dish soap. Again no luck. Any suggestions?

This article suggests using WD40 first and then using dish soap.

Hope it works!
not sure if it'll work now but next time you might want to try adding cornstarch or baby powder before you even put anything on it to absorb the oil
For grease spots, I pretreat with the dollar tree wash pretreatment (white plastic bottle), let it set at least 1/2 hour.
Launder in hot water.
Try Lestoil
Makeup remover has helped me with some tough spots. Also shampoo. Rub it in, blot, rinse and wash in the warmest water the fabric will tolerate. Air dry until you are sure it is all out.
