I use Zout also, have used it for years. It can get old formula stains out of garage sale baby clothes and red clay stains out of white double knit baseball pants. I buy it from Amazon since I can't find it in my area.

I haven't tried corn starch, but have successfully used baby powder for oily stains. I sprinkle it on, rub it in with my fingers and let it set for while. Then launder as usual. This has even worked after I have soaked with Dawn and laundered previously and the stain did not come out.

I use Goop on my DH's greasy work clothes when he works on his motor toys. It really works for dirty grease.

My sister is the queen of stain removal - really. She uses Shout Advanced - its in a spray can. Spray it on and wash it within 5 minutes. Do not let it set. She gets the grease out of her husbands jeans with this stuff. It really works.

you might try Ivory soap. long ago i got hair oil out of a pillowcase. the case looked grey but turned out white again!

For any greasy or oily spots.. I have great success with Dawn dishwashing liquid.

Cornstarch....really. I have never heard of this before. Has anyone else ever tried cornstarch?? I am going to try this. Thanks for posting. I use gojo hand cleaner and it works pretty well.

I know this sounds counter intuitive, but WD 40 is what we use on the farm to take heavy grease out from the equipment. Spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash in Tide. Takes it out every time and doesn't ruin even your good clothes. Jinnie

I have used water soluble cold cream with good luck. Just rub it all over the stain and let it sit for a while before washing as usual. Find it at the pharmacy in the face cream section. Also, I've found shampoo to work well on oil/grease stains. After all, it strips the oil from your hair when it's greasy.
