    Apply some Dawn dish liquid directly to the stain…

    Try hand cleaner like swarfega or degreaser like Gunk or Jizer.

    Grease / Oil Stains
    Remedy #1: Rub white chalk into the stain, then wash in warm water with detergent.
    Remedy #2: Absorb the grease, using cornmeal on rough fabrics, cornstarch on smoother fabrics. Leave on the spot for up to 12 hours, then brush off and wash.
    Remedy #3: Polyester fabrics – sprinkle the stain with talcum powder, then rub it into the spot with your fingers. Leave overnight, brush off, then wash.

    Sprinkle plenty of talcum powder and wait for the powder to absorb all the grease and then wash it. Repeat if necessary. And have 1/4 cup of baking powder in the detergent. Have Oxy pre-wash sprinkled and wait for 10 min. and wash. I know its a long process but it really gets the job done.

    You could try pinesol. I know it sounds weird, but it works. Just rub some directly on the grease stain and then rinse.

    You can soak the grease stain in cola, for about 15 minutes. This will help loosen the grease. Then, wash as usual. If the stain is still on do not dry it, until you find a remedy to get it out.

    The choices from Tee are great ones!!

    There’s a product called Zout that I swear is the best at removing grease stains. You can find it in grocery stores, drug stores, and places like Ace Hardware.
