Help I've got loads of kitchen oil on my good trousers!

Hi

I'm really hoping you can help... I was at my Son's birthday party at the weekend and we had hired a hall and had permission to use the kitchen and oven. DUring the week its a coffee shop at an RAF Station. Anyway, the coffee shop people had left a frying pan in the oven full of oil/fat - they use it to fry the eggs etc... I had no idea it had anything in it and wasn't expecting it. Anyway enough said I got loads of it all down one leg of my rather lovely red trousers!:eek:

After the party I came home put it in a bucket with a load of Ariel Biological and left it there. I've just looked at it and some of it has definitely gone but I am sure I can see a shadow - its still soaking so I can't be sure. Anyway before I stick it in the wash I just thought I'd see if anyone had any top tips for removing it so I can still use my trousers. They are my fav pair!

Thanks in advance

Jo

This thread suggests trying talc but that's when the stain is wet. Um....

Or this may help - olive oil in carpet

try eucoliptus oil[wrong spellin] put some on cotton wool and rub at the oil then wash as usual ive used it many years ago and it worked.

When I did my aromatherapy qualification, the tutor told us that massage oil (usually grapeseed or olive oils) would wash out of our uniforms with a dishwasher tablet. It works beautifully

I'd rub in washing liquid into the oil, inside and outside of the fabric. If that doesn't get it out first time, try again. Don;t, whatever you do, iron them until you've got the grease out - heat can serve to set the grease and it'll never come out.

Good luck, Penny. x
