How to get rid of grease stains (from the chain of a bike) off of white khakis?
Question:I put it in the washer, but I still can't get it out. Any other ideas, other than buying a new pair of khakis?
Answers:
GET A CAR
Throw away the pants. I didn't say buy a new pair though.
how about BLEACH?
How can you have white-khakis?
I've found that dish soap works good. Just spray the soap on the stain, let it sit for a while and then wash it. Dish soap is after all made to fight grease stains.
Dawn dish soap should do the trick!
Have you ever used OxyClean? That stuff works pretty well. I have 2 kids and a husband that is a horticulturist and he and the kids get pretty dirty. I sometimes pre-treat with spray & wash and then yuo have to be able to have access to a sink or tub that you can put hot water and the oxyclean and allow them to soak. I usually let them soak for sometimes up to a day because I have a huge sink next to my washer and dryer. If the stain is still there repeat again. It may take a few times depending upon the time they have had the grease on them and if you have washed and dried them. The stain usually sets after being dried. If after 2 or 3 times then the stain probably won't come out. Best of LucK!
I don't know if this will help since you've already washed them once, but what I normally do (and this works really well) is right away I use some Gojo or other hand cleaner meant to take grease off your hands and scrub the greasy spot with it. Then wash the clothes right away.if there's still a spot try using the Gojo again and rewash. Since this hand cleaner is meant for mechanics it works great on grease stains. I hope this works for you.
pre clean with some regular Dawn dishwashing detg.
just squirt, rub in and then let soak in some water for a bit.re scrub if needed in a little bit.
then try washing with some regular bleach and your degt (or even some more Dawn)
Just DONT dry them until you work out your grease.
Well if you washed them and they're dry now then you really just set in the stain. The only other thing I can think to tell you is to try a cloex bleach pen or bleach. Good Luck!!
Try Oxy Clean
clorox 2 for colors, pre treat the stain. if you have already dried them it may be too late. next time roll your pant leg up man.
