Removing Butter Stain From Clothing

My daughter got margarine/butter on her goose down Eddie Bauer jacket. I tried Grease Relief, Shout, Clorox Pre-wash, Oxy Out and it is still there. Have suggestions?

Salt, then dry, then wash.

I have had good luck with dish detergent, like Palmolive.

I presume that it is dry clean only. If you put it in a dryer at any time with the stain on it. The stain is set. I would suggest at this point that you take it to a dry cleaners and tell them about the stain. They have more cleaners available to them.

First of all, does it wash? If so, try shaking talc on it and leaving for 24 hours and then wash it- may have to dry and repeat. I've done this on t shirts etc , but goose down? I don't know. But if it's spoiled anyway it's worth a try.

Sprinkle some bath powder Ttalc) on the stain - lots of it! Rrub it in a bit & forget it for a few days. When you are putting it in the wash, put some liquid laundry detergent on the powder & rub it in or use one of the popular stain remover sprays. Sometimes it takes 2 applications & many days, but I have never had a grease/oil stain that did not eventually come out!

Pre-treat with Dawn dish soap; let sit 1 hr and wash.
