The old felsnaptha bar soap does a good job on oil and greese.

Spray it with Shout! I guarantee you it will take the oil out! I've had oil spots that I've washed and dried, and still came out with Shout at the next wash!

I'll add to my previous post. My Mom used Shout on my Dad's greasy work clothes. You See, Dad was a diesel mechanic and his work clothes were like "grease city". That's all Mom ever used, except regular detergent.

One thing I will caution you folks about. Cascade contains chlorine bleach so you may not want to use it on colors! I have used Cascade on white clothing having tea stains, etc. But DON"T USE ON COLOR UNLESS YOU WANT TO FADE IT!

Great tip for mudding sheetrock, Macybaby! Who'da thunk? Steve H., Love those homemade science demonstrations! Sweatshirt still smells faintly of oil but it turns out that that's a great bug repellent! Even though the mosquito numbers are down, the gnats are gearing up but none on me. I don't recommend dumping sm oil on your clothes just to repel mosquitoes but I'm happy for an unexpected side effect.
