EASY...use mechanics waterless hand cleaner. something like "GOO" and others. just rub it on the spots and it looks greasy, but throw it in the washer and you will be amazed...it is, after all, for greasy hands...i keep it on the shelf with my spot removers and it always gets used up first...I know, I have 5 boys!

Well I've never had to use it on vasaline before, but often times while oiling my sewing machines or in cooking I will get oil on my clothes, and the best thing I have found to get it out is Awesome Orange. It's a degreaser spray you can get at the Dollar Tree. It's cheap and works really well all around the house.

There are two things to try depending on the fabric. The first is a product called Lestoil, but it smells and works best on strong fabric (denim, canvas etc). On a more delicate fabric use a good diswashing detergent (like Dawn). Rub it on the stain ONLY and the launder with the rest of your stuff. Do NOT put in dryer, but if possible dry in the sunlight. (I don't know why the heat in dryer makes it worse, but the heat from the sunlight helps) Good luck

I would use Dawn dish washing liquid. It is a degreaser. put it on stain, or vaseline let it set in a bit and wash in hot water. I think that will work. P.S. I have twin boys who are now 24 and believe me I know what your going through. It will get better.

Just a couple of days ago, I got some oil on a (new) shirt. What I did first was soak the area with dish detergent then let it dry. And then I soaked it again with peroxide. I can't tell the stain was ever there. I don't know that it will work with vasaline, but it might be worth a shot.

I never had a problem with the clothes, but I do know my daughter put baby oil in her hair once, and I used dawn dishwashing detergent to it out. It worked great. You might want to try some dawn.

Well go to the store and buy Tincure of Green soap that will cut the grease very well.

add some vinegar to the wash water, at least a cup... my sister worked in fast food for years and she sore by it, it took the smell of grease out of her clothes too!

try soaking it in hot soapy water for a while and hand washing it with soup under hot water in the sink before putting it in the washer
