    You can try "lifting" out grease stains on dry clothes by ironing with some brown paper (parcel paper). The brown paper "lifts" the grease out of the fabric.

    NB: Not manilla envelopes - brown parcel paper.

    How much soda crystals would I have to put in?

    I brought a beautiful skirt from Monsoon to wear at a wedding yesterday, and I've noticed a grease stain on it from the reception. :(

    The skirt can't be dry cleaned or soaked, but can be washed at 40 degrees. It's purple and 100% cotton.

    Would a bit of washing up liquid on the skirt, and soda crystals in with the powder work?

    UPDATE: I just rubbed a bit of washing up liquid on the stain. It worked!
