Any of the "waterless" hand cleaners. Goop is one brand. Rub it into the grease spots, let it soak awhile (overnight works), then launder it. You might have to wash it again to get rids of the smell. |

There are two kinds, the *wrong* kind of which demands that you wipe it off with a paper towel rather than rinse it off with water. I usually work it into the spot with a spoon until it looks like I've smeared grey stuff even beyond the area of the original spot and then let it sit a while before I wash it. I like the metal cans/tubs. They ring when you thwap them. -- Cheers, Bev ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Lottery: the closest thing we have to a tax on stupidity. |

Fast Orange hand cleaner, available at any auto parts store -- just make sure you get the version withOUT pumice. That's a bit harder to find, but any place that sells the pumice version can order the other for you. |

I give it the yellow soap and boiling water treatment. May take more than one application, but give it a try. |

I use it on greasy stains in the laundry, or on that gummy stuff that holds labels, or on grease spots anywhere. I have actually used it safely on a silk shirt. I keep a bottle of it in the laundry room, and hubby has one in the garage. Great stuff. Squirt it on the stain, then wash as usual.

It is really amazing on grease spots. As the person who does the cooking in this house, I use it a lot on my clothing. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind.

This May come as a shock, But saturate both sides of the stain with shout right before washing. The stain will come out! I have actually done this after the garment has been ran through the dryer! Just make sure the stain is really saturated both sides Yale |

It is important to check for bleaches of any kind or scratchy-scrubby particles in a grease remover one intends to use on clothing. Otherwise you can end up with a light colored spot, or a threadbare spot instead of a greasy spot! :-) -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth.
