How to remove oil stains from clothing

Pre-treat the article of clothing by laying it flat and covering the area with cornstarch. Leave it to sit for at least 1/2 hour to soak up some of the oil, then gently brush away the cornstarch.

If your article can handle a regular washing, then try soaking it in the kitchen sink with Dawn dishsoap. Use the hottest water that your item can be washed in. Leave it to soak for awhile, then gently squeeze the article over and over, underwater, until you are certain that it has been absolutely saturated with the soapy water. Drain the sink, then rinse the article to get out most of the soap.

Finally, use a pre-wash spray such as Shout or Oxyboost on the spot, then run it through a regular wash cycle along with a couple of damp towels. Hopefully, the oil will be completely gone!
