a little spot of grease dropped on my vans (the fabric part) and i don’t know how to get that out. I haven’t worn them in months cause they were new but had this REALLY noticeable grease spot on them. THX.

    I highly recommend something like automotive hand cleaner, it will take the grease/oil out. I use a brand called Fast Orange made by Permatex for years and it works great on jeans and other clothes.

    I’m sure any type of hand cleaner will work but I know this brand works for sure with a bit of scrubbing. Start lightly to avoid scuffing. It should work as it takes off grease/oil and whatever else is on my hands very easily when needed.

    It shouldn’t hurt the color at all like bleach would but check on a small spot before you try it to be safe. It really is an incredible product. It is sold at automotive stores and maybe hardware stores. It’s really cheap too!

    well what you need is something that will cut grease….try Vinegar 1st…..with a toothbrush if that doesn’t work try Mineral spirits….. that is a oil distilant which will break up the chemical bond the stain has to the fabric……from a friend i heard "sweet n low" this sounds weird ive never needed it since i heard it but its used to take stains of fabric….make a paste let dry wash
