Liquid dish detergent on the spots.Then launder. Any brand will work, they're all degreasers. Speaking from many years of experience.

Dawn dish soap or fels naphtha soap.

I learned the Dawn dish soap trick over 20 years ago when I had a bunch of employees covered in butter splatter at a movie theater we just opened. One of the moms always sent her daughter to work without any spots on her uniform. All the other employees were marveling at how she was spotless and she came back the next day and told us all the secret. It's been part of my wash routine ever since.

Thanks everybody!

I use OxiClean stain remover that comes in a spray bottle or you can try a degreaser product like Greased Lightning or MeanGreen on the spots. I let it sit on the stain for a bit then machine wash with warm water.

No, there really isn’t. Your best bet is to treat the individual stains. I like to use full strength Dawn. Just put a few drops and rub in. If it’s only a few small stains, then I don’t rinse it out but if the grease stain is huge, treat, let sit for a while, then rinse before washing in the machine. Over-sudsing in your machine will cause damage to it.

Soak garments in dawn detergent before washing?

Vinegar

Grease

If the item with the grease stain hasn’t been washed since the stain happened, you can soak it in water with a Liberal amount of Murphy’s Oil Soap, or you can even just put the Murphy’s undiluted straight on the spot and let it sit before washing.

However, if the clothes have already been washed with the stain, it’s nearly impossible. I’ve tried every trick in the book for that situation, and have never had one work. Don’t bother wasting Dawn, people assume it will work and it doesn’t.

Steam cleaner?

Steam cleaner/carpet cleaner with a degreasing soap solution. If you don't have one, you can use dish soap and water, soaking and scrubbing the soap/water into the area and using dry towels and/or a vacuum to remove as much of that water as you can, then repeating this "soak, scrub, remove" process several times.

Tsp ( it's in the paint supply section of hardware stores)

As an owner of The Maids house cleaning franchise we use a commercial degreaser, but you can get either EasyOff or ZEP cleaner at local retailers.

Hot water, vinegar, dawn soap? A degreaser? What have you tried?

Fantastic cleaner?

Dawn Powerwash + Magic Eraser + hot tap water.

Shout Advanced Stain Remover Gel with scrub brush has been my go-to for many years now. A $3 purchase that works, lasts a very long time, and doesn’t have the fuss of home spun alternatives.

You tried a good dish soap?

Dawn is the bomb with hydrogen peroxide

Dawn. Let sit. Hopefully you didn't use the dryer the first wash.... Also, oxyclean is amazing.

Not sure if it's the same formula, but back in the day my Hispanic grandmother would use something called Awesome. She'd purchase it at the $0.99 store and it took bike chain grease off my Dickies pants.

Try a little dish soap. It might break up the grease

Rub straight dawn into the spot. Then wash. Repeat until it's gone, THEN you can dry it.

You can get it out still no problem. Dampen the fabric and scrub both sides with dish soap and toothbrush to get the dish soap deep into the fibres. Put the item in a plastic bag or bucket and let it sit for 24 hours. Then wash it. After washing, inspect the fabric and if there is still some oil, repeat the process until it’s completely lifted. You need to give the soap time to work though before washing.

I work with a lot of grease for my rods on my horizontal drill machine. One time I smeared so much it looked like poop pudding. I grabbed cat litter and rubbed on it, the bucket happened to be almost empty so there's was a little bit of dirt looking litter. I grabbed it and rubbed it against that part of my pants and it came off after a few tries.

LA's Awesome Orange Degreaser sold at The Dollar Tree in half gallon size. Pour it on and let it set overnight. Never dry a stain in the dryer that hasn't been removed. Retreat and try again.

You might try Dawn dishwashing liquid

Felsnafa soap! My fiancé works on cars and uses it all the time!

With worse case scenarios, I buy a bottle of baby oil and douse the whole item in it.

Take some dawn dish soap and an old toothbrush and scrub the oil stain right before putting it in the wash. Dunno why it works but it does

I've never had any success in removing a grease stain if the clothing has been through the dryer.

I have a blouse with a few chicken broth stains, I have washed it twice, some stains became less noticeable but a few are still stubborn. I told my mom "if those stains won't dissappear, I'm considering soaking the blouse in chicken broth so it can become the same color"

Thisssssss - dawn does not work for me anymore on grease stains (idk if they changed the formula or what) but this does.

I put Dawn on the stains and let them sit for a couple days. I too catch a lot on the breast shelf…

There’s a Carbona for every stain:
https://carbona.com/products/ I swear by Carbona. They have a laundry stain remover for anything. Their carpet spot cleaner with the built-in brush was a lifesaver when my dog was alive.

You gotta grease the rest of the shirt so the stain doesn’t stand out

Nods wisely. Me too.

Dawn

So good to know it's not just me.

I got some on my fedora’s safari flap from a coworkers wheelchair grease. It was pretty concerned because the guy at the store said I’m the only person he has seen pull it off. That’s what I get for trying to roll my hat off my arm like Fred Astaire.

Dawn should do the trick.
