Dab the grease stains on both sides with a liquid laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid, let it set for a while then launder as usual. You could get a soap bar in the detergents aisle and rub a little into the stains. This will take a long time for you if there are many grease stains on his clothes.

You can pre-treat w/ Dawn dish soap and add some lestoil to the laundry or even 1/2 c. of baking soda to the wash water... Also, if his clothes are really greasy be careful putting them in the dryer... They could start a fire....

Try useing Dish Detergent right on the stains working it in before throwing it in the washer in warm to hot water.

Try that Orange cleaner or some kind of degreaser. You can normally find them in Dollar stores. They work great!
Let the clothes soak for a bit.
