Yikes! Thats a tough one, wis I had a copy of Heloise's Helpful Hints!

On tough stains I use, K2R its in an Aerosol can. You spray it on and let it dry. It'll be powdery when it dries and you use the cap to brush it off. Smells like dry cleaning solution but works well.
After many years of not seeing it around I think its back cause I got it at WalMart.

Grease from Clothing
This question was submitted from Debbie.

'How do I clean automotive grease from clothing? '

It is always best to treat any petroleum based stain as quickly as possible. Grease, etc. , attracts dirt and will destroy fabrics if untreated. Try these techniques :
First, when stain is fresh, blot as much excess with paper towels.

Next, we recommend using a spot remover / dry cleaning fluid. Follow the directions and use gloves in a well ventilated area. Place the garment with the stain facing onto a clean, white, absorbent cloth. Then soak another like cloth with the spotting solution and blot the stain from the back. The dissolved grease will transfer to the under cloth.

Rinse the garment with water and repeat only if necessary (dry cleaning fluid can be very hard on many fabrics).


Precautions:Always test on an inconspicuous area before using spotting chemicals.

I have found that if you get anything greasy on your clothing, put baby powder on it immediately, as that will absorb a lot of the grease. Leave the powder on for a few minutes, then clean the item in the way recommended on the label.

THANKS LADIES.......... I went to Wal-Mart last night and found some SHOUT stain remover gel or whatever - they said it takes out even motor oil, and you have up to 1 week to wash the clothing. But my lazy ass went straight to bed when I got home.
I know, don't say it, I should be ashamed of myself
