The auto part store sell grease removers that mechanics use to take grease off their hands. It comes in a big tub. I rub a little on the grease spot and wash as usual. The grease spot is gone. I don't wear tee shirts but get spots on anything I'm wearing while cooking. I have never gotten into the habit of wearing an apron.

I use a product called Goop, it may be what Onebyone is referring to in post 13. I learned of this amazing grease/stain remover via the board here. Someone wrote that it took an impossible to remove stain from a quilt.

I buy Goop at Wal Mart in the automotive department in the giant tub, transfer to a smaller container when I need more by the washing machine. I pre-treat husbands shirt collars and any stains or marks needing removal in the washing machine. It has a pleasant fragrance and whatever ingredient is in it to soften mechanics hands is wonderful on my finger tips especially if I've been handling fabric. I whole hardheartedly recommend this product and thank whoever wrote about it here.

I will get some of the Awesome product next time I'm near a Dollar Store.

Yes, too many times to count, unfortunately, and they are usually hard to get out.

My son uses awesome for everything that has a stain, including his car upholstery. It is cheap and wonderfully"awesome!"

Zout is another good stain remover--my favorite. But I've never tried Awesome--will look for that one.

I try to look at my shirts in the bathroom mirror before I take them off. I keep laundry pre-treat in there too. Then I can give the stains a squirt before they go through the wash and get set.

cover with baby powder, toss in hamper for several days, wash as usual The cornstarch in powder will absorb the grease completely and wash out. Used to come home from work and start supper before changing out of my silk blouses, invariably I would get a grease spot. Always used this solution and it never failed to work.
