A couple of weeks ago I washed a pair of my son's jeans which had grease on them, ever since I have been getting a lot of grease stains on my light clothes after I wash them. How can i get rid of this problem?

Household ammonia is a good degreaser. You might try running some of that through your washer, along with your detergent. Try it without any laundry, or with old rags. Also Fels-Naptha is good and this can be purchased from Soapsgonebuy.com. (It's on sale right now for $1 a bar.) Otherwise, get a good degreaser from Dollar General like Thunderblast and try that.
I'd get the washer checked. I ended up needing to replace the transmission in mine soon after I started noticing dark colored stains on clothes.
Simple Green concentrate works wonders for grease. People that work in fast food industry & mechanics use it to launder their uniforms. Maybe it will work for your washer if you run rags through a cycle with it.
It is the seal in the transmission that is getting grease in your clothes. We had a white Westinghouse washer that got grease in our clothes and it was the seal in the transmission. Dad st0pped the leak by putting a piece of plastic around the top where the agitator sits. The motor went out on the washer 4 months later.
