Help, stain alert
Anyone know how to get car oil out of clothes? Ash found the small puddle of oil in a parking space and sat down in it. I’m pissed because it was a new pair of pants I just bought her yesterday. Yeah, I picked them up 50% off, but that’s not the point.

Normally, something oil-based dissolves oil, but that’s my experience with getting grease or tar off my skin. Clothes are likely a different story. But, one site recommends talcum powder for oil stains, rubbing the powder on a hour before washing. I’m not sure if that’s a reference to motor oil, but it may be worth a try. I typed in the URL above, I hope it works. If not, it’s www.livingonline.com

Believe it or not…Lestoil Cleaner. BEST grease/oil/stain remover I’ve ever used. And yes, it’s safe for laundry!

I use Simple Green on everything. Just be sure to wash it shortly after (later in the day…not overnight) otherwise it leaves a bluish green stain (which will wash out after a couple washes). Aaron gets grease on his almost white work shirts. Too much color to bleach…Simple Green & a tooth brush. I’ve even gotten unidentified, week old stains out of things. Simple green-toothbrush-maybe wash a couple times with simple green treatment in between. Let me know what works!
