How do I get grease out of laundry and still keep a clean washer.?

Answer 1

Try Dawn dishwashing liquid. Rub it on grease spots and use a small amount in with your regular laundry soap. It has worked for me before.

Answer 2

My husband is a mechanic and his uniforms get VERY greasy. We pour a can of Coke in with them for a first wash to de-grease and the coke literally EATS the grease! Then wash them with soap afterwards like normal and it should clean any leftover coke and grease form your washer- I have never had a problem afterwards- I can even wash whites afterwards. if you are scared though, you can run it once in between with no clothes just to make sure.

Answer 3

Now I'm picturing blankets saturated in used motor oil or something......

The same detergent that breaks up and suspends dirty oil will also wash it down the drain. I suppose you could run an empty washer load of HOT water w/ some Dawn afterwards.... but maybe I haven't seen just how dirty laundry can get.

Answer 4

any kind of dish washing sink soap like ajaxx, should do the trick, saturate the clothes in them, and wash as normal. if its a ton of grease be careful, because you should never dry something that has alot of grease left in it.
