Most effective grease removal from clothes? - Page 3

 

Good.   It is important to check for bleaches of any kind or
scratchy-scrubby particles in a grease remover one intends to use on
clothing.   Otherwise you can end up with a light colored spot, or a
threadbare spot instead of a greasy spot!  :-)

Fast Orange hand cleaner, available at any auto parts store -- just make sure
you get the version withOUT pumice. That's a bit harder to find, but any place
that sells the pumice version can order the other for you.

 

I give it the yellow soap and boiling water treatment.  May take more
than one application, but give it a try.

Might not work for wool, but hand cleaner works just fine in cold water.  BTW,
it's possible to wash many wool garments providing you use cold water and lay
flat to dry.

Long ago, early 50s, my grandma made me a skirt out of some wool+orlon fabric.
It wore like iron and could be machine washed and dried on the 'warm' setting.
No ironing needed.  Beautiful turquoise-blue plaid.  I wonder whatever happened
to it, I can't possibly have worn it out!

I also had a blouse made out of 'Dan River' cotton, which came out of the dryer
ready to wear with no ironing.  Back in the dark ages.

Irons are for waxing skis.  Period.

I used to do that before I discovered Goo Gone.   It is really amazing on
grease spots.   As the person who does the cooking in this house, I use it a
lot on my clothing.
