How can i remove cooking oil from clothing?

I accidently got cooking oil on my clothes, i put them in the washer but the oil has stained and won't come out, is there anything i can use to remove the grease? How can i remove cooking oil from clothing?
LESTOIL! It is the single greatest laundry room miracle I can think of. It will remove grease, tar, marker etc.. My Mom always used to use it for any sort of oil/grease and it works wonders. I think it's a little harder to find in grocery stores and such now, call an ace hardware or something. It's petroleum based, won't ruin your clothes, gets out just about any stain (some times it takes 2 cycles, you just keep working it in) How can i remove cooking oil from clothing?
Usually a grease stain is treated immediately, try dusting the grease stain with Baby Powder waiting a few hours then dusting off, pour on some White Vinegar then leave for about five to six hours put in the washer set washer on hottest water that garment can handle full cycle and add one cup of White Vinegar do not add any detergent or fabric softener as this will hinder the vinegar from removing stains and vinegar also softens clothes like a fabric softener does but less expensive, when drying this garment do not add any dryer sheets Good Luck !
I like waterless hand cleaner for grease stains.


You can buy it in the dollar store or the automotive section of stores like WalMart. Mechanics use it to get grease off their hands but it is safe on clothes, too. M30 and Goop are the names to look for.





Rub in a dab. Wait 20 mins and launder as usual.





Dawn dishwashing liquid is good, too. Or plain shampoo ( no conditioners, etc )
Make a paste of a liquid dish soap (Dawn) and baking soda. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. Launder as usual in the hottest water safe for the particular article of clothes.
I had the same problem with olive oil in a navy tshirt, after washing it and it didn't come out I rubbed in normal fairy liquid and tried again on a 40 degree wash and it came straight out.
Try cornmeal. Rub some on there, dump it off, rib some on there, dump it off.... it is good at absorbing stuff like that. It works for grease spots on a wall, also.
My wife uses a product called Pink Soap found in the Michaels arts and craft store in the paint aisle.. gets lots of stuff out.
I agree with Agent Mime2, Cornflour is good.





Otherwise, I had this problem and the stains did go after several washes.
put Dawn dish detergent on the stain and wash in warm water and it will come out.
I am almost sure that lemon juice is supposed to remove oil and grease stains but I'm not sure. Check it out :D
put it in the washing machine
