When you get home rub a good dollop of washing up liquid into the stain and wash them on as hot a wash as you can with a handful of soda crystals added into the washing powder. Washing up liquid is great as a pre treatment for taking oily stains out.

Brilliant, thanks - I'll give it a go when I get home.

I'd second that. I'd also turn them inside out and rub the wash up liquid on the reverse of the stain, too.

Will washing up liquid work for longstanding oil stained t-shirts, trousers etc.? My youngest has had many a t-shirt confined to the bin because of this.

I use a squirt of stardrops in the wash with grooty stains.

It took boiled linseed oil of a pair of my jeans!

I use washing up liquid as ohers have said, but I have never changed the temperature to wash in?

My partner spilt olive oil all down the front of a nice expensive yellow tshirt, I put washing up liquid on the stain and washed as I normally would and it came straight out.
