There's a great product out there called "Zout" it's a pre-wash spray and it gets pretty much anything out. Better than any of those oxy-whatchamacallits out there. Good luck!

This sounds crazy, but it does really work: You'll need to re-activate the stain with more grease. Let that sit 3 or 4 minutes, then squirt some Dawn dish soap on the greased area. Let that sit about 5 minutes, then add just a tad more Dawn and scrub it a little with a brush. Wash it in HOT water, and it should come out. Good luck!

Two products that work well are Lestoil, put some on the stain then wash in the washer with Lestoil, works on mechanics grease! Also you can try some of the new Foam Dawn dishwashing soap and use like a pre wash and work into the stain and wash as usual.

And here's another...put a powdery substance on the stain...baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, or plain old powder. Rub into the grease stain then launder. The powder soaks up the grease and it gets washed away in the laundry. Good luck!!

There is this product called "Zout". It is the most fabulous stain fighter ever! You cant get the spray kind though (the spray sucks) you have to get the gell kind. The gell kind has a top on it like a dish detergent bottle. I accidently overlooked a lipstick that went into the dryer with a load of jeans. It got all the lipstick out. I aint no Hellouise but I almost fainted. lol

Try GoJo. I've used it to remove 4 year old dried on nail polish from carpet and red liquid lipsitck from a white prom dress. Also, depending on the shirt, try WD-40. I've never tried it, but my BF swears by it for grease stains.

Dishwashing soap...like Dial. Pour some on the stains and let it sit overnight. Then wash. Cuts thorough grease.

I would pre-wash it with some shout, and a lot of it.
Then I would put it in the wash with some extra soap (not a lot you don't want to overflow the washer) and soak it.
If it's a white t-shirt make sure to put some bleach in the washer with it.

This is going to sound very, very crazy...but pour a can of Coke in with your greasy clothes. I am serious! It really works! It has to be Coke...not Dr. Pepper or any other soda. My husband is a mechanic and I was on a mission to see how clean I could get his clothes.
