Most effective grease removal from clothes?

 Grease stains seem to be really tenacious. Thinking primarily
petroleum-based grease - automotive etc. Anyone found a product or
combination of products a/or methods that's really effective getting
it out without damaging the cloth?

 
The white gel-type hand cleaners work very well; available at just about
any auto parts store for $0.50 or $1.00 per tub. I keep a tub next to the
laundry supplies in my utility room for this very purpose.

I usually work it into the spot with a spoon until it looks like I've smeared
grey stuff even beyond the area of the original spot and then let it sit a while
before I wash it.

I like the metal cans/tubs.  They ring when you thwap them.

Go into the hardware store and ask for "Goo Gone."   I use it on greasy
stains in the laundry, or on that gummy stuff that holds labels, or on
grease spots anywhere.    I have actually used it safely on a silk shirt.
I keep a bottle of it in the laundry room, and hubby has one in the garage.
Great stuff.   Squirt it on the stain, then wash as usual.   Preferably with
rather warm water.
