Gasoline. I used it several times for the many times. I got grease gunk on different outfits.

Leather will eventually dissipate oil and grease of its own accord. An excess can be carefully removed from durable leathers with mineral spirits or kerosene on a cloth. (Don't use anything highly flammable like gasoline or cigarette lighter fluid, and always ensure adequate ventilation until fumes are gone.)

A friend told me spray with WD-40 and then use Dawn dish soap...Apparently the WD-40 resets the set-in stain then the Dawn will take out the "fresh" stain...Haven't tried it yet, but definitely gonna give it whirl...

Yes, WD40 most definitely works. My husband tared a roof. He threw his shirt downstairs to throw it away later. Somehow it got in the wash and then the dryer. Washing didn't create the problem buy it ruined everything in the dryer including the dryer drum. All of my good outfits too. I was sick and crying and could not believe this had happened. I had heard grease takes out grease and the first thing I ran across was WD40. I had never heard of this .It was already ruined I thought so what did I have to lose by spraying. All the tar came out and I rewashed a couple of times to get the smell out and my clothes were good as new.

I recently tracked some sort of black grease into my home with out knowing it until it was to late. I have one large stain on my recliner and several smaller ones on the carpet. Any suggestions to remove it would be great. Thanks

I put a pizza on my gma's nice pure leather book and it has a grease stain on it now. I have to pay 150 dollars if it doesn't come out! Please give me a tip.

Do any of these work on car grease stains? Or are they all just for cooking grease?

Try using Lighter Fuel, it actually says on the bottle that its great for removing grease, oil and tar.

Try grease dissolving dish detergent, like Dawn.

Yes, Dawn dish liquid or Coca Cola. Both are great stain relievers for grease!

Does everything that removes grease, also removes sewing machine oil?

RE: Removing Grease Stain - Tried Lots of Things
Can anyone elaborate on the WD40 idea? I really need to know if it works or if someone is yanking the collective chain.

RE: Removing Grease Stain - Tried Lots of Things
If it is on something you do not want to wash, try putting powder on the stain. Let it set for several hours and brush it off. Repeat until oil/grease is absorbed and gone.

Try Dawn dish soap. When I have what seems to be impossible grease stains, I liberally spread dawn, wait 5 minutes and wash. I have never had a stain get passed the Dawn dishsoap.

Spray with WD40 then wash as usual. This works great for all my grease stains.

RE: Removing Grease Stain - Tried Lots of Things
As a last resort, ammonia has been very effective for me. You can pour it directly on the stain then launder as usual. You can also put a cup or two into your load of laundry.

Lestoil; it smells strong, but because it has petroleum distillates, it will remove any grease stain. Just apply it directly, let it soak in for a few minutes, then wash normally (warm to hot water). You may need to rewash to remove the odor.

RE: Removing Grease Stain - Tried Lots of Things
I've had a lot of luck with dishwashing liquid (not the kind for dishwashers, the kind used for hand washing dishes). Just put a bit on, rub in and wash. It works on set in stains also. Really bad ones may need two washings.
