Help - Grease on clothes

saving-grace

I had a T shirt with marks like this. Ace laundry bleach worked for me.

Hi, try neat eucalyptus oil on the grease stain, rub in, wash then wash again to get rid of the smell! It works for me.

Whats the best way of getting grease marks off clothes? Also whats the best temperature to do it?

I am not sure where I am getting these marks from.. but i don't want to throw the clothes away if I don't have to.

You could try dabbing with kitchen towel, and launder as normal.
If its a delicate fabric, try dabbing with a little eucalyptus oil and then hand wash.

my mum swears by washing up liquid for grease spots. dab a dollop onto the stain, rub well in, leave for a while, overnight maybe, then launder as normal.

I also use washing up liquid & if the fabric isn't a delicate one I pour some just boiled water over the grease stain first & then add a squirt of Fairy, work it into the stain & leave it for half hour or so before sticking it in the washing machine.

As long as the fabric isn't delicate like wool or silk, I soak the item(s) first in hot water with washing soda, as that's great for cutting grease. Afterwards, just wash in the washing machine normally.

You old stylers seem to know everything so I have a question how do you get grease stains(fat, butter, cooking oil) off clothes?
I have ruined no end of my favourite clothes & yes I will start wearing an apron when i cook but also little accidents like my daughter grabbed me the other day when i was wearing my new top from Next and she had buttery fingers ! top ruined.

Any help appreciated cos this is one of lifes little mysteries to me.
