I use Dawn for this. If the stain has already been set i.e. put through the dryer, I make a paste of Dawn and baking soda. Then I apply it to the stain and let it sit for a few hours and launder as usual.
Pure alcohol.
Put a drop of washing up liquid on the spot then wash as normal.
There's a stain remover product called Era, it's great and removes a ton of stuff, including grease-based stains. It's in a red jug and available at Target and Wal-Mart and supermarkets.

try soda
either flour, talc or a washing powder will do it. wet it slightly . just let it sit on it for a bit it should soak up then give it a rub,then when you wash it put a little soap powder on the stain and rub , add the normal amount of washing stuff it should work. i work in a kitchen so i put flour on as soon as poss xx
use "Spray n' Wash"
A good product to purchase is called Zout. It's made for lingerie but works and is pricey. My favorite tip, though, is rub a little dish soap or shampoo on the stain, let set for a while, then wash as usual. They are made specifically to cut grease.
If I have an oil, grease stain, butter, I will apply directly on the spot Dish Washing Liquid. Dish Washing Liquid has a grease fighting formula. Works for me every time.
There are quite a few things on the market for taking oil out of clothes but before using them you could try and reduce the stain by placing absorbent paper (blotting paper even kitchen roll) under the stain and over the stain and iron with a hot iron this should take a lot of it out, keep changing the paper until you do not see any more of the oil on the paper. You might then find the stain comes out easier with the things you can buy to remove grease stains.
dawn dishsoap takes out anything oil based but if all else fails there is a product called bluing that will make your whites as white as you can get them.
First of all everyone on earth should carry around Tide spot remover in the pen shape. Its so good. But for tough stains Oxyclean is great I put 1/4 in the wash with the regular detergent. Tough stains I soak the clothing in 1/4 cup of oxyclean in tepid water. Wash after as normal
vanish oxy action
I would try putting DAWN dish washing liquid on it rub it in real good and let it set for about 30 minutes before you wash it and i'd wash it in hot.
try using some dawn dish soap and scrub with an old toothbrush. good luck
i use dawn but 409 sprayed right on the stain then through it in the wash,no bleach. thats from many years in commercial kitchens.
Try Tilex spray cleaner ... works wonders on whites!! Don't wait tooo long to launder though, unless stain is reallly bad.
