Answers:
Grease Stain Removal from Clothing
To remove a black grease stain from clothing, try saturating the stain with rubbing alcohol, then blot with a clean white cloth. If the stain persists, try using a grease cutting dish detergent, such as Dawn, and rub with a soft toothbrush. Another option, although it seems crazy, is to soak the soiled area overnight in a solution of detergent, Coca-Cola and water. Launder as usual. Good Luck! =)


Ive always used a can of coke. It usually does the job. Before inspections in the army we would have to clean everything up.And being a tank mechanic you got your gear pretty dirty. Just pour the can in along with the soap. The acid in the coke helps get the grease out.
Lestoil is one of the best grease cutters there is. You could also try Dawn dishwashing soap. Pre-spot and scrub with a brush, I use an old toothbrush and then throw into the washer and use the hottest water that you can with the fabric.
