(OT) grease stain...

[madametj]

this is totally off topic, but i just found out that if u get a grease stain is ur clothes, u can just put some shampoo on it and throw it in the washing machine...... it'll come out so fresh and so clean

just wanted the world to know

[brendajos]

I don't know about shampoo but dishsoap is the best thing i have ever found...makes sense since Dawn takes grease...outta the way!

[brendajos]

oh but i wouldn't leave it sit too long. i did once and it sorta bleached out the area...not white but it was defintely lighter.

And Dawn is animal safe! They use it to clean off penguins after oil-spills.

[madametj]

both shampoo and Dawn get the job done. but dont leave it in too long as brendajos said.....that cant b good......

My SIL uses a combination of WD-40 and Dawn and scrubs it out. She swears by it. I've yet to try it...

yeah i would have a hard time purposely putting WD-40 on my clothes....i would make her prove it...lol

I swear by Lestoil it works like a charm.

I swear by Lestoil it works like a charm.

Wow, I didn't know they even made that anymore. Haven't heard that name since I was a kid.

Dawn does work well, but frankly the stuff SMELLS like WD-40! You end up having to rewash you clothes with detergent to get the smell out.

Have any of you used those "pens?" What a joke! I used the Tide one and it took out the stain but left it's own stain on my shirt that was permanent discoloration. I just went back to carrying a bib with me....

I've used the Clorox Bleach pen on whites with good luck. Glad to hear about the Tideone-I have one in my desk for emergencies. Thank goodness I haven't had one yet, since it leaves a stain of its own. Guess I'll throw it in file 13.
