Removing Car Grease Stains From Clothing

how to remove car oil form clothes Post By Brenda Simpson (Guest Post) (08/02/2008) I see a lot of feedback for car grease but my husband got car OIL on his new shirt (a lot of it) while under the car changing oil. I have used shout 2X with no luck. Does anyone know how to get this out? Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Car Grease Stains From Clothing Post By JJ (Guest Post) (08/01/2008) Thank you SO much for the recommendation of the Dawn dish soap! I got out of my car this morning and to my HORROR discovered that the bottom of my brand-new white jeans were covered in some kind of car grease from the parking-brake pedal. I came across this site (from Google) and since we had some here at work, I tried that. Worked like MAGIC! I just dabbed some Dawn on with a paper towel, then scratched at the stain with my fingernail and it started to disappear. Then I just rinsed out the stain and its totally clean and white. Thank you! Thank you!!

I was so depressed. When I got home, everyone told me use this and use that. But my mom said use some vegetable oil. I doubted her so. But I tried it. I lightly scrapped off the thick grease with a knife, being gentle. Then I put some oil on a napkin and rubbed it off completely. I kept changing the napkin though to keep a clean scene. It came of immediately. I then washed the shirt right after in the washer alone with detergent , no bleach and it was like I just bought it. I was so happy. This is a simple and very cheap method. And best of all no chemicals were used the weaken the fabric itself. Thanks very much Amanda - Our dog chased cat under car and got grease on himself, jumper and cat. Your method removed the lot from jumper and is working it free from the pet's coats.

You may have to add a little Dawn(R) Dishwashing liquid - but I swear my husband's jeans look better than when first purchased. NOW, ONE OTHER USE - What about dryed LATEX PAINT on jeans? I've had luck with WD-40 and a pumice stone (1/2 way through the wash cycle). As an artist, I've saved a whole lot of pairs of jeans that way!

Removes car grease, food stains, diesel smoke, diesel fuel, nastiness from Steel Mills and anything else you can possibly imagine. Anything that a truck driver can possibly bring dragging home it removes it LOL trust me. He had alll kinds of stains in his clothes until I discovered spraying the clothes with MeanGreen works wonders.

I went a bit nuts when I saw it then I looked it up to see what can I do to remove it. All I did was dishwashing soap and baking soda, also a bit of shout. Work them in a paste and scrub with toothbrush, it's all gone!

After the 5 minute wait, with a small amount of Dawn directly on the stain, I scrubed the area with my fingernail and the grease stain went away totally.

If it will can I use that mixture on 50/50 type shirts and special fabric shirts as well?

Just ask my husband...he tried this idea and thinking that the longer the better would be better....it's not always the best!

Works like a charm. By Rukhmin Feedback: Removing Car Grease Stains From Clothing I have cleaned Grease from jeans with pure vegetable shortening, and it worked ok, but I found that Mechanics Hand Cleaner works everytime. I taught my son at age 10 to do his own laundry and he used the hand cleaner at Auto Mechanics class. His teacher complimented me on the idea because if it'll take grease off your hands why not off your clothes. I use a good stiff brush like a fingernail brush after letting the cleaner soak in a little while, then wash as usual. (04/09/2004) By tigerlil234 Removing Auto Grease and Oil from Clothes This one is mainly for you shade tree mechanics. To remove oil, grease or diesel or any other auto type oils from clothing just add a can of coke that's right you heard me "coke" with your normal wash detergent and wash as usual. I learned this in the army after replacing numerous uniforms at expensive costs now all I do is wash with coke.
