How do i get a oil stain out of my jeans and top?

Question

So i got this oil stain on my nice jeans and top and i really want ot know how to get them out. I washed them hoping to see if it would come out but it didnt.

DOes it matter if they are old stains or not? The one on my jeans happened like yesterday and the one on my shirt happened, i dont know when..

Any help would be wonderful thanks!

Answer 1

Apply some Dawn dish liquid directly to the stains...

Answer 2

i know this is going to sound weird but it works: before u go to put them in the washing machine spray hair spray on the stain it should bring that stain out.

Answer 3

although I prefer ajax, dawn will work aswell!  It absorbs the grease in the water, so if it on your shirt, it will take the grease out:)  I have done this before, and works well
