I find "Shout" very good for removing oily stains (spray on then wash) , or you could try neat washing up liquid then wash as normal.
If its not a white t shirt don't rub too hard or you could end up with a paler patch! :eek::wave:0 -
Hi, thanks for that, will have a go tomorrow with a bit of fairy washing up liquid.0

rub washing up liquid into the stain with a brush and leave overnight - wash as normal in the morning (my late nans tip)Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0

Try using WD40. This is not a joke, its a great stain remover. Be a bit careful around delicate fabrics and colours.
Try using cheap toothpaste - this is especially effective against curry and tomato stains.
Try a block of "VANISH" soap. These are widely available and used to pre treat stains prior to washing. The little block lasts for years, literally.
Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? 0 -
Hi, yes about 80% of the stain came out so will give it another go. thanks for the help0
