I have found that the best thing for a grease stain is a good soak with regular dish soap. I've used various brands. I would steer clear of any containing bleach. Dawn is good. Let it soak for an hour at least, or even up to a few days. Rinse by hand or launder as you usually do.
I swear by dish soap for grease stains! Really!

Add baby powder or corn starch right away to soak up most of the grease. Then wash in hot water on gentle with regular detergent. Goo gone and linseed oil work well too.

Dawn dish liquid breaks up greasy/oily stains
rub some on the greasy spots dab with cool wet wash clothes.
Or take to the dry cleaners

you may consider trying to use a good mechanics hand cleaner such as "GOJO". I think I would try that with water.
or you might take it to a good dry cleaner and pay to have the item cleaned by a professional.
