and hot water. This morning it was almost dry and looked like it still didn't come out.
I now have corn starch on it but not sure if it is too late. I just looked it up about the
corn starch.


My mother taught me how to get grease (like from a car or motorcycle) out of a white jumpsuit I had. I had tried several things and it wouldn't come out. She told me to put a little bit of LARD on the spot, rub the fabric together until it gets HOT in your hand, then use a little dish soap and rub it in good. Wash as usual in the washing machine, and what do you know, not a spot was left! The trick is to use LARD, NOT SHORTENING! Try it........it may work for you.
