Some stains will come out with shampoo. It will take out the grease. Also, I don't know if you have it, but Wisk is a great stain remover.

I use shampoo and it works pretty well. Shampoo does remove oil from hair.

When they say that grease removes grease, they usually tell you to spray WD-40 on it for a while, then use stain spray to remove the WD-40. It also works pretty well.

I sware by OXI CLEAN. Spray, let it dry, spray let it dry and by about then it is almost gone, do this a few times and zap it will be gone. Love that stuff and can't imgine life without it. Even OFTEN after a stain has ben set it will take it out. :) good luck with what ever you try

My DH used to work at a Scrap Yard and I had to wash his uniforms. The only thing that got out any type of oil or grease stain was Lestoil and believe me, those grease stains were the worst. It is made by the Clorox company and is a Grease & Stain Remover that use put on the stains full strength and wait 10 lminutes. I bought a cheap little scrub brush and scrub it in before letting it stand. Then wash as you would normally. It has worked everytime even on ones that were missed and are set in. One warning, it stinks but once the clothes are washed, it is gone. Good luck.

I have tried Napisan and made a paste with water and left it on the stain for about a couple hour. That helped but it still left some of the stain behind. Thanks for your help.
