You may have some luck with dawn ultra and some very very hot water. I would put them in a stock pot and boil them for a bit, maybe with some lemon juice, then dump them into the washer on HOT with some Dawn. Not too much, though, or you'll have a soap mountain.





Don't boil soap in the pot, though...tends to keep the flavor.
Reply:I know this maybe crazy, but works fine everytime..





U can either wash the spot with petrol or kerosene. Let the spot be soaked and then u can wash it with your usual soap and stuff..





All the best.
Reply:first soak in dawn dish soap then spray shout on the areas affected
Reply:i've had great luck with GooGone for grease and oil stains! Works great! Don't machine wash afterward,. let it air dry to make sure the stain is gone first, repeat if you need to.
Reply:Fels Napatha Soap...works for a variety of things but, it is good for oil based stains. I would imagine that would mean oil itself.





Just wet the bar and rub it on the stain. Let it sit for a while and then launder as usual.





Do not dry in the dryer until you are sure the stain is gone...this will set the stain.
Reply:I think it somewhat depends on the fabric, not only the type of spill. for example my hubby had cooking oil all over a polo-type t-shirt (100% cotton). They were months old and everytime I would wash the shirt I'd forget to do the stain treatment and I finally one day remembered and removed all of them with SHOUT stain remover (in the US). I just poured a good amount on the shirt, let it soak for a few minutes, threw it in the washing machine and also put some Shout in the bleach cassette of the washer. And it was all out.


That's why I'm thinking might not work on capris, because the shirt fabric was absorbant and soaked in all that stain remover. but you can try.





it was a burgundy red shirt, so don't worry about bleach stains. Shout is good for colors.
