I use Vanish stain remover...that sometimes works. Liquid washing neat on stain also sometimes worksWe don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0

Try soaking overnight in a solution of soda crystals. Soda crystals is a de-greaser but soaking is also key. Then, wash as per washing instructions. It shifted a load of greasy gungy stains from my oven gloves.
Yes, do wear an apron
