Hi I have a couple of tops with greasy marks that I’m struggling to shift. Does anyone have any handy tips or hacks for me? TIA.

    @Potternerd Try rubbing in a bit of washing up liquid, leave for a few minutes then wash as normal 👍🤞

    I use Shout spray for greasy marks, it does the trick.

    Elbow grease degreaser. I was cooking on a commercial grill for a function and covered the front of my top in black grease - spray of that, and a wash and it was perfect

    I am amazed at what putting a dishwasher tablet in with the washing does. I have been able to remove really old greasy stains using this method.

    Swarfega, made for cleaning greasy hands, dab some on your spot, leave for a minute or so, wash as usual.
    Do I need it or just want it.
