Removing Oil Stain from Dry Clean Only Fabric

RE: Removing Oil Stain from Dry Clean Only Fabric By Coll3 (37) Contact I use LESTOIL on all grease stains. It even gets imbedded tar out of skinned knees.

Just dab some on, then scrub lightly with a toothbrush to saturate the stain. Let sit for 10 min or so then rinse out & let air dry. * Before you start, you may want to wrap a large rubber band around the stain to isolate it. If that doesn't work try this: WD-40 & Dawn dish soap http://www.ehow.com/how_5063873_remove-oil-stains-clothes.html if your comforter is made of satin or velvet & you're really afraid to get it wet try this: talcum powder and corn starch http://lifestyle.iloveindia.com/lou ... e-oil-stains-from-clothing--443.html * I've found that most things that say "dry-clean only" can really be hand washed. This doesn't mean ALL of them can be hand washed, but many can. I've found this out by 40 years of sewing & knowing about fabric contents... But I've been experimenting for many years with Thrift Shop & garage sale clothing. Because when I pay 25 cents or $3 for a piece of clothing, no way am I going to spend an extra 10 or 15 bucks for them to be dry-cleaned! I'll just bring the second-hand item home then throw it in the washer on gentle cycle to either come out nice & clean or trashed & 9 times out of 10 the item will wash up just fine.
