Got some black dirt/grease off the car, on to my good trousers. The usual
trick which solves it, is to work in some Swarfega hand cleaner; and then
detergent and warm water washes it away.

My problem is that being in a hurry i did not work the Swarfega in deep
enough or well enough, and then went on to wash it.

So its now 'set' into the trousers. Grateful for any further suggestions.

Lots of well-intended home remedy suggestions.

Save yourself some agony by taking "good trousers" to a reputable
cleaner. Ask them if there's a way to get the **** out. If not,
chalk up to experience.

If not as above poster says then go at it big time with anything you can
find as nothing to lose.
And then chalk it up to experience.
