My kids left a carmex lip balm stick in their pants pocket and it went through the laundry. Now my wife's cotton pants have grease stains all over. Is there any way to get these stains out? Thanks!

i have mates that work in a commercial laundry that does all the linen for restaurants etc. The thing they can't get out even with double doses of chemicals is lip balm and lip gloss form serviettes / napkins.
They only ever become aware of stains that need extra treatment after they have being dried / ironed. After trying heaps of expensive products they have found only one that will remove the stain efficiently it is Exit soap and it comes in a small bar and is really cheap and easy to use.

Khaki is rather at risk of bleach stains, for this reason you won't be able to use that Spray 'n Wash stick -- you won't get the stain out and would finally end up bleaching out a patch on the leg. attempting soaking the pants in an OxyClean answer, then washing it, with extra OxiClean used in the wash cycle, alongside with your everyday laundry detergent. OxyClean, and comparable products are somewhat stable at getting stains out, and, if there is an probability of average bleaching, it is going to bleach out the khakis over-all, lightening the colour somewhat.
