Grease Stain Removal from Clothing
To remove a black grease stain from clothing, try saturating the stain with rubbing alcohol, then blot with a clean white cloth. If the stain persists, try using a grease cutting dish detergent, such as Dawn, and rub with a soft toothbrush. Another option, although it seems crazy, is to soak the soiled area overnight in a solution of detergent, Coca-Cola and water. Launder as usual. Good Luck! =)

Oil Stains On Clothes

There is still hope left for your garment. Hopefully, you didn't put it in the dryer. Heat is what helps set stains in garment. What kind of material is it? Depending on the material, dry cleaning would be the best method. Dry cleaning is great for removing oil based stains, since dry clean solvents are not water based. Take it to the dry cleaner, tell them about the stain, and depending on the material, they'll tell you the likelihood of removing it.

Hi,
The oil you are trying to tackle is usually an oil diesel mix and that can be stubborn.
I am presuming you have tried a good quality washing up detergent ( as used for crockery), speading it on and leaving it to rest.
You need to dissolve the oil to remove it, petrol would do the trick and then a good washing up liquid will remove the petrol.

Greased Lightening, its very inexpensive to give it a try and I've had great luck getting out all kinds of stains. My son had grease from a bicycle chain on his clothes that set for a few weeks that came out with two treatments.
Good luck!

My mother in law used lestoil found in the cleaning isle/laundry isle.. .It smells horrible, but it works ... I use it too,but I also add 1/2 c. baking soda along with it... Soak the clothes overnight and wash as usual ... It should help... my father in law works on cars so she's a pro.... Maybe, get bf a couple work uniforms to work on cars/semils with so he's not ruining all his clothes....
