    Great concert !! OK – i’m assuming that the grease has had time to set in – you first need to treat the area with a dry solvent likemineral spirits or acetone – then with an eyedropper rinse it with isopropyl alcohol ( rubbing alcohol) dry it really well – then spray a diluted DISH – soap solution ( 2 parts water – 1 part soap ) on it and anything leftover on the stain – let it soak for a bit and then wash. The first 2 steps will actually break up the grease’s compound and break it down – the dish soap solution helps pull it off the fabric. Good luck and have a great time.

    you could try listening to some better music

    put a paper towel over is and place an iron over the paper towel. liquify the grease and the towel should absorb it.
    I dunno if this works but it sounds good.

    Neither is foolproof, but try these:

    1. Put baby powder on the stain for a few minutes. Then rinse it out. If the stain isn’t old, the powder will soak up the oil.

    2. Try a product called Zout. It’s in the laundry section of the store. It got salad dressing out of a blouse.

    Have a back-up shirt handy, just in case.

    I would suggest Shout or Spray n Wash they remove grease from cooking. Now if it’s grease from a car I would say use brake cleaner.

    Dish soap is made to cut grease. Rub it in, without water, and let it sit maybe an hour. Then add hot water, lather, and rinse. Then put through the washing machine. Try that and see if it helps.

    Pine Sol.
    Rub in gently.
    Let sit on stain 15 minutes.
    Wash.
    Check stain before drying.
    If not out, vigorously rub in *a little* dish soap.
    Wash again.
    Check again.
    Dry! :)
