Oil stain in my good fire-department T shirt?

Question

I've got an oil stain on my fire department tee shirt, and it's gone through the wash... 2x's actually. how can I get said stain out of my shirt now? or is it with me forever? Thanks.... Oh.. by the way... it's 50% cotton 50% poly...

Answer 1

Spray and wash makes a stain stick. Rub it on on thick and let it sit for a few days. Wash as usual. I used this on an old grease stain and it worked great :)

Answer 2

You could use Dawn dish detergent. Just squirt a little on, rub it in with an old toothbrush, and RINSE IT OUT BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE WASHING MACHINE haha, I've made that mistake before and my laundry room looked like an avalanche of suds.

There is also some amazing stuff called Goo Gone and it gets out everything-- lipstick, gum, glue, grease, paint-- anything that's hard to get out. I'm sure it would get out oil. Good luck!

Answer 3

Try warm water laundry soap and Oxyclean directly on the stain.  Scrub thoroughly.  Rinse and repeat if necessary.  

Answer 4

Rub dish detergent on it (like Dawn, not dishwasher detergent like Cascade), let it sit for a bit and rewash in cold water. Should come out no problemo.
