Soak them in pure liquid detergent. Work the detergent in every few hours. After 24 hours put in the washing machine.





Some kinds of stains can only be cleaned with gasoline. Use a very small amount. Do it outdoors and use heavy non flamable gloves. Have a friend with a fire extinguisher there.How can I wash away oil stain from colored clothes?
All of the above suggestions are good.





I sometimes just launder an item over and over (5-7 times) and let it air dry between washings as the heat of the dryer will often 'set' the stain.





Sometimes a cooking oil stain comes out this way.
My fiance's best man is a mechanic... he swears by the WD-40/ Dawn method...


Spray a small amount of WD-40 on the spot.


Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes


Then squirt some Dawn on the spot and work it in


Rinse off and wash as normal.


Hope it works as well for you as it does for him!!!
Hi..i would try hand cleaner like the mechanics use. It is cheap and can be bought at Walmart or Canadian tire. Rub it on, let sit for a half hour, then wash as usual. I use it for all kinds of stains.
Just put talcum powder over the oily area in your cloth. Wait for about 20 to 30 minutes. Then take off the powder. Wash with normal water. This will really work out.
