Gear oil, transmission fluid, and lithium grease are the worst.

Best thing I've ever used for greasy stuff is Lestoil. It's old timey, and hoooo, does it work! I used to find it everywhere, but now I get it at Ace Hardware.

I even put some in a little dish soap bottle for spot treating. No problems with bacon splatter anymore.

For heavier grease Dawn. Spot treat and/or soak in strong solution. For light grease, like a splatter in the kitchen, I find that Spray N Wash stain stick works great, however, I never had much success with their liquid spray. With the stain stick, I find it best to apply as soon as you take the clothes off and roll it up and put in the laundry basket. Use it at least 30-60 minutes before washing in any case.

I agree with Suitcase Sally. Lestoil works great it does smell strong though.

On greasy shirt stains spray 409 on, rub a bit and wash. For really nasty jeans (my ex was a garbage man, doesnt get any worse than that) I found liquid wisk, poured right on stains, rub together a little and wash. Works good!

Never tried it myself, but my brother swears by Classic Coca Cola. They used it in the Army, when he was a diesel mechanic....

"Goop" brand . hand cleaner will take the darkest, nastiest oil stains out of anything.

Rub it in. Let it sit a few minutes and throw it in the wash.

Amazing.
