Give this a try:
I'll keep this short and sweet, because the longer it sits, the more likely it will stay. There's no time to waste, let's go!
What you'll need:Step 1: Dab stained area with a dry paper towel to absorb the oil. Continue until the paper towel won't absorb anymore.
Step 2: Rub baking soda into the stain and let it sit for a good 10-15 minutes. Brush the baking soda off of the stain and check the stain status. If it is still super noticeable...repeat this step.
Step 3: After the baking soda has done its job, it's time for the liquid dish soap. Rub the liquid dish soap into the stain and work it gently. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Repeat if necessary.
TIP: Do not put the stained clothing in the dryer. If the stain didn't come all the way out, the heat will set it into place. Stick to air drying.

Usually Dawn is quite effective in oily type stains but my other rescue remover togo to is soilove.

Dab the stain with your dry white washcloth (with some baking soda or salt) and then take it to the dry cleaners. This sort of stain calls for some professional help.
Try Wisk. Let it in overnight. Do NOT put grease stain in dryer until it has totally been removed or it will set. Just cover the spot with liquid Wisk. Used on greasy stains in uniforms from garage and always had good luck with poly/cotton clothing.
Hi Charlotte, this method works well, hope it helps you out,

GP66 is my go to degreaser. however, since you have already tried other methods anything you use will be less effective.
In the future, you can use chalk or baking soda to "pull" it out first.
My go-to stain remover is Kiss-Off which I usually get at art supply stores though Amazon has it. You might read the packaging first.

I use Purple Power. You can get it at Walmart
Whatever you do don’t run it through the dryer, maybe never again, until the spot is out.
The polyester is made from petroleum, which is an oil. The heat sets it.
