grease spots
 
Have you ever noticed you can't spot a grease stain on your T-Shirt till you look in the mirror . Usually to take a last glance to make sure your lipstick is OK, before going out. Hubby is waiting in the car. LOL.

Yep, and they are hard to remove. I put a bit of dish soup on the spots and run hot water from the kettle through before throwing in the wash.

That is so annoying! For me it is usually a coffee stain. Such a bummer.

Grease spots on t-shirts are a real bother. What works best for removing?

rub a dab of Dawn dish soap, let soak for several minutes and toss in the wash.

I always use a product called Awesome ($store). Great laundry pre treatment. For me it's just seeing the stain. Told my friend about it. She said it even removed a year old grease stain on her DH's tee shirt. I just spray & toss it in the wash, when I see it. LOL.

Exact thing happened to me yesterday morning (even the DH in the reved up car!). Too late to change so grabbed a scarf and tied to cover spot. Will do the Awesome treatment before I toss in the wash.

Sprinkle with corn starch or baby powder. Rub in and let it set for a day or two until laundry day. This usually works for me.

I mix Dawn dish detergent with Shout (or any stain remover) and toss into the laundry basket until next laundry day. I have done this on shirts I've taken out of the dryer and discovered the oil stain and had good results.
