Squirt blue Dawn dish detergent on the stain and let set for at least 24 hours and launder again.

I used Shout Advanced after washing and drying my favorite sweatshirt with cooking oil on it. I let the Shout sit overnight, washed in warmest water possible like the directions said and it worked! The stain is completely gone and I don't have to go all the way to Boston (from Texas) to get another one!

I've heard that putting a full can of coke in your washer works well. Fill the washing machine with the clothes and cold water. After the machine is full of water, add your detergent and a full can of coke. It should take out the oil stain. Don't know if it works once you dry the garment though!

I need to get a combination of fake tan and massage oil out of a white cotton shirt, long story but I am not real happy about it. I am soaking it in washing powder and hot water as we speak but it was left to dry overnight. Will dry cleaning it help?

I used the baby powder suggestion on a huge grease stain on my favorite sweatshirt and IT WORKED! I was amazed. It worked even when the stain appeared to be set-in. Thanks to the person that posted the suggestion!

Dawn dish soap is the only thing I have found to get any kind of grease or oil stain out.

Dawn can stain some clothes if it is left on too long, so be careful with dark colors. I know this question was a while back, but i'm new and have an answer. For oil stains, even old ones, pile baby powder in a mound over the stain. Let it sit over night, shake out and then wash as usual. It removes a majority of our oil stains!

I found this somewhere else on the ThriftyFun site and it works wonders for getting cooking oil out of clothes:

Ditto for the Dawn. You may have to use it more than once, but it's cheap and works great. And can often be used even after stains have been heat-set to save clothing.

I bought the new Shout Advanced Set in Stain Remover. It did a good job on a set in chocolate stain that had been washed and dried many time. I tried it just to see if it would work, and it did. It also got out a ink stain on a work vest.

Old Masters handsoap works wonders. You can buy it in Michaels crafts, for just a few dollars a bar. It removes oil paint, ink, grease, etc from clothing. I just rub some into the stain and let sit a few minutes and it usually washes the stain right out. Have used on fresh stains and previously washed and dried stains. I Highly recommend it! In fact i need to get up there to get a bar myself.

Use Stanley Degreaser which can be purchased from Stanley Home Products. They also have a company web site.
I don't sell the stuff but I do buy it online.
