Had a pan of smoked sausage and onions on the stove last night and as I turned a piece of sausage, it splattered all over me. No exaggeration, from my neck to my knees, all over a skirt I just wore for the first time a couple weeks ago. The shirt had seen better days so I'm not too upset about it, but the skirt really upsets me.

I soaked it in the sink. Scrubbed the spots with detergent and Shout or something like it and then washed.... still there.

DON'T dry it!! I always had luck with Shout getting out grease spatters. Maybe try Dawn dish soap.

good luck

Oh, I know. It's hanging up in the laundry room.

Not sure if this product is even still available but try borax or 20 Mule Team Borax. http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/about

My sisters & I worked at Burger King in high school, so our work uniforms were inevitably splattered with oil & grease. Mom swore by borax to clean the stains & get rid of the stink.

Oxy Clean! Mix per directions, let garment soak, then wash - putting the mixture in the washer.

try using a toothbrush and scrub it with dawn dish detergent, let it set then wash it. my mom uses this all the time for grease stains.

I have read that the only thing that would get the oil off the sea birds after the Valdez oil spill was Dawn. Original, regular Dawn.

Several votes for Dawn. Will be buying some on my way home tonight. Crossing fingers - I want my skirt back!

I've used the Shout gel and also Simple Green works.

Fels Naptha bar soap - run a corner (of the bar) under hot water and apply directly to the spot. I've never had anything work so well- even on spots that have been washed and dried.

 

[MicksMom]

If Dawn doesn't work, try Goop.

Another vote for dish soap - I normally use Ivory, as it has been faithful to me over the years, but Dawn works too.

I use Lestoil! Gotta be quick about it, put a little on, rub it in and straight into the water otherwise it will bleach the color out. Gets oil out and tomato stains. I have been successful with it and dark colors.

I might try Dawn next time.......

Yep I second Goop It's a favorite of us lowly grease monkeys

My husband pickes up oil for a living and let me tell you about stains! I do as jinks siad and it takes all the spots out.


FYI Dawn works on posion ivy as well, this time of year we will wash with Dawn if we have come in contact with PI. Works to cut the oil from the plant and you don't break out!

Another vote for Lestoil. I use it often to get tough stains out of clothes. Sometimes I do have to soak the clothes in a diluted mixture of it. But it works great.
