Removing Grease Stains from Clothing

RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing Post By Lydia (Guest Post) (10/11/2008) Thank you so much! I had gotten some machinery grease on one of my favorite sweaters at work and was so worried it wouldn't come out. I tried the baking soda and dish detergent, and it was like magic. Thank you for saving my sweater! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing Post By Amy (Guest Post) (09/14/2008) It works incredibly well. I thought my capris were ruined. I had gotten water repellent grease on them. I first treated them with Murphy's oil soap. Then I put cornstarch on them. Washed. It got better, but you could still see the stain. Boo hoo. I used Palmolive and baking soda. Praise God it worked. Yeah!

I was so mad. Ajax and baking soda did the trick!

Drizzle a little of your favorite shampoo on the grease, rub it in with a little water and then wash as you normally would. This method even takes grease stains out of old stains and stains that have gone through the drier. Good luck.

I think it works great. Teresa from Va. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing Post By Chris in MO (Guest Post) (09/10/2007) I use Goo Gone. My husband will cook bacon and eggs on the weekend and get grease on his shirt. I usually don't catch it before it goes through the laundry and find after it comes out of the dryer. I put spray some Goo Gone on the grease spots, throw it back in the laundry and the spots come out! Works like a charm!

Tracee from Sandy, Utah Answers: RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing IVE JUST TRYED PINE SOL AND IT WORKS EVERY ONE SHOULD TRY IT~THANKS TAWNDA! (05/26/2005) By Nena RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing Make paper towel folded "pads", to use on top and underneath. Spray WD 40 on several q-tips, then dot the spot and immediately rub with clean q-tips and blot off and on with a "pad". If it begins to show on the q-tip or towels, it's working, and you should do this with new "pads" or new absorbing locations on the underneath pad, using new q-tips as well, over and over, until gone. Then, with still more "pads", use alcohol to remove the WD 40 main residue, and then Dawn dripped directly to the spot and area, when finished with all of the above, and wash as normal AGAIN in washer. It should work for you. Don't use too much WD 40 because it has an odor, but not too bad if used in drops. Do NOT spray directly to your garment. It's strong enough to do the job on q-tips, if you carefully "wet" the spot ONLY and do not rub too widely, checking and changing the pads frequently. Good luck and God bless your hands as you follow this suggestion. : ) (09/28/2006) By Lynda RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing I can't believe it!! I used Pepsi that had been open in the refrig all night (I don't know if that had anything to do with it) and a Q-tip. For various stubborness, I rubbed some with Q-tips right away, some I let it sit for a minute or two, and some I added a dab of Dawn and used the Q-tip. All gone! I'm so excited!!!

If the clothing has been previously been put in the dryer your chances of removing the stain will be poor as heat sets the stain. This remedy only works on a freshly set stain. Happy clothing stain removal.

(07/27/2004) By Diamondee RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing My husband and i were both truck drivers in the Army and we used to put Pine Sol or Simple Green in with our laundry and it would take out the grease and not leave stains. (07/30/2004) By Tawnda RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing I have tried almost all of the suggestions, from simple green, OOPS, dawn and baking soda, all the commercial laundry stain removers, and find that each of them will remove some stains from some fabrics. But I haven't found anything that will remove all stains from all fabrics, so I have been experimenting. I have just salvaged 4 shirts and 3 slacks with CASTROL SUPER CLEAN TOUGH TASK CLEANER-DEGREASER. It removed stains that none of the others did. But alas, I have two stains it didn't touch. So I'm still experimenting, but wanted to share this wonderful product with you all.

(05/02/2006) By Bettty Grant RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing As I have read in other places, removing grease or oil stains from clothes can be done by using shampoo or dawn power dissolver or even just dawn dish washing liquid. Since all of these are used to remove grease from various things, why not clothes too? Also, I think cheese whiz is suppose to work too. (05/20/2006) By Guccichick RE: Removing Grease Stains from Clothing Goo Gone will get engine grease and other industrial greases from clothing. I tried it on a light pair of colored khaki shorts.
