I somehow got vegetable oil on my very pretty shirt, and i can't seem to get the stain out. I even used Dawn dishsoap and Shout, but the oil stain is still there :(

    I usually use Joy dishwasing detergent, but it probably won't work any better than Dawn. There is a laundry treatment called De-Solv-It which works like wonders on greasy stains and should do well on oil. Another option is Oxyclean which is made to work on organic stains. Of course, you need to test for colorfastness with either of these products.

    Good luck!

    This is tough, the shirt is ruined anyway, so if it were me I would try using dawn dish liquid and hot water right on the stain. Hope it helps. :)

    You put it over your head & SHOUT it out or use Spray and Wash. I prefer Spray N' Wash, it works best on oily stains, I hope this helps.

    Try to pour a very hot water on the stain.

    I had a dress that I got oil on and it was on there for about a year. I finally used some Greased Lightning, sprayed it on the stains, let it sit overnight, and washed it. It took about 2 or 3 times of doing this, but it worked, and it doesn't hurt the fabric. At least, it hasn't hurt mine.

    Use toothpaste. Be surprised on how it works.

    Gasoline dissolves oil …… don't use much because it is hard to rinse out the odour ……. it works like a charm ! ….Good Luck !

    I don't know, but if any of these work let me know. I did the same thing to a brand new pair of pants!
