Just sprinkle some talcum powder and rub it into the stain, leave it for one hour and then soak it in hot water + any dish detergent or laundry for about 10 minutes and then put it in the washer and wash as usual.
There is a product called " Kafko OIl Eater" available in Costco. It is on the automotive isle. It is a multipurpose cleaner and is very inexpensive, that works wonders on oil anywhere say in the kitchen, garage, wherever. Try it
Good luck

Try Dawn dish washing liquid. I keep a bottle in the laundry room for just such things. Pour it directly on the oily spots and let set (over night is best), then wash in the warmest water allowed for the fabric. If the stain is very bad, you may have to retreat, but it will definitely work!

I've found that the cleaner 'Spray Nine' removes most grease stains from clothing. Since you didn't mention what material is involved, try it on the inside of a hem or a pocket first.

It takes oil based cleaner to remove oil. I would use the jar of orange degreaser you get at an auto shop. It has taken engine grease out of my carpets and clothes so I'm sure it would work on cooking oil too!

mechanics waterless handcleaner. it takes any kind of grease and oil out of everything. really works great. rub it on the stain with fingers or toothbrush. throw it in the wash and it should come right out. if it doesn't come out on the first try, do it one more time before you dry it. I have only had to re-apply it a couple times. it usually comes out the first time.

Make a paste of Dawn and baking soda. Apply it to the stain a few minutes before washing it.

Wet mopping won't really help you on this because the water in the mop will not only repel the oil it can damage your hardwood. I'd go after it with dry absorbent cloths, just keep rubbing it and changing your cloths.

rub DAWN (yes, the stuff you clean your dishes with) into the spots and let it sit over night...then, throw it into the wash as usual.
Make sure and use the kind that says "grease figthing" or "grease lifting"...but actually, i think they all say that now.
good luck getting the stain out!

Have you tried hand wasing them in Dawn dish soap? It may help break up the oil.
