I always recommend My Clean Shirt for stain removal. The stuff really works. They won me over with a ink stain, then I grew to love My Clean Shirt for my husbands "caveman" style ring around the collar. The website is: http://www.mycleanshirt.com

Shampoo works. Any cheap shampoo will do.

Dawn dishwashing liquid will remove grease and other stains; just be sure to not use the one with bleach.
The cheapest way is to buy the hand cleaner that mechanics use to clean their hands with. Some of it is called Goop or Go-Jo and there are also cheaper off brands that work; just rub a little into the stain and wash as usual.

If the item is nylon, plain old Crisco or cheaper stuff will remove black auto grease; this is tried and true by me.
Hope one of these works for you.

I use Shout for this type of stain. A cirtus cleaner made from orange peel also works well on Grease stains. Best to treat before laundering if you can.
