Marcy	Posted 04-16-2003 at 09:25:08       [Reply]  [Send Email] I'm wondering how to get grease spots out of my clothes, something must have spilled in the washer and I've got greasy spots all over my hoodies and sweat pants! Also, the residue was in the washer and the next load, of DELICATES and SILK BLOUSES, has some spots on them - do I have to take everything to be drycleaned?
laura	Posted 08-05-2004 at 10:50:44       [Reply]  [Send Email] this works. heat up the grease spots with a hair dryer and sprinkle with baby powder. the powder will soak up the grease. Works on delicates and dry clean items. wash as usual.

RayP(MI)	Posted 04-17-2003 at 07:06:06       [Reply]  [No Email] I like to use a penetrating oil like WD-40, (probably most brands would workk), spray on stains, and then wash normally. Pretreating stains with hand dishwashing detergent will often get grease out too. Unfortunately, drying in a dryer seems to set the stains. Your other clothes may have picked up the stains off the items you washed them with.

Jerry	Posted 04-17-2003 at 06:45:56       [Reply]  [No Email] Are you sure your washing machine didn't blow a seal and the grease is coming from the machine? That happened to me once. We ruined a few clothes before we figured it out.
Kerry	Posted 04-16-2003 at 19:28:05       [Reply]  [No Email] I don't know about the delecate stuff, but I've always had excellent luck getting grease out of clothes by rubbing the clothes with Gojo (the hand cleaner) and letting them sit for a while before washing them. It might work on the delicates if you're careful, try a corner somewhere out of sight first. Kerry - this seems to be my night for domestic issues!
DeadCarp - try TSP	Posted 04-16-2003 at 17:58:26       [Reply]  [No Email] (This is kinda off the wall - heh heh) .... We used to paint lotsa kitchens, and we prepped the surfaces by sponge-mopping them first with a handful of TSP in warm water. (Tri-sodium phosphate) Since those days, it's become very handy for anything greasy. I've cleaned deep-fryers, grills, the cooling radiators on commercial fridges, exhaust fan systems, old rags, tractors, carburetors etc. That stuff HATES grease, dulls the average surface in one pass, it's cheap and readily available in paint stores and most everywhere. I'd mix a pailful and try a few spots.
Marcy	Posted 04-16-2003 at 14:23:05       [Reply]  [Send Email] Want to thank all who took the time to respond. I'm wondering if the Melaluca Mela-Power is available only in the United States as I've never seen it on our grocery store shelves in Canada. Oh well. Will try the stuff from Wally World too. Thanks again.
Ludwig	Posted 04-16-2003 at 15:32:25       [Reply]  [No Email] You never will see it in the grocery store, not that kind of company. It is available in Canada though. I'll put a link below. If you'd like to try a sample I'd be happy to send you an ounce. My email is raymond@nospam.gis.net just remember to remove the nospam. to reply. Melaleuca
Ludwig	Posted 04-16-2003 at 13:24:46       [Reply]  [No Email] For the non-delecates, scoopa oxy-clean and 2 scoops baking soda. OR Melaluca Mela-Power laundry detergent. Wife says its the best stuff she's ever used on my super grungys. 1oz is one load she says she's never needed more.

Kat in NJ	Posted 04-16-2003 at 10:02:55       [Reply]  [No Email] Marcy, for what it is worth, I've found that the best thing for taking out any stain is Woolite, straight from the bottle, and hot water. Wet the stain with water and then apply Woolite (don't used the generic wool wash that looks like it; it isn't the same!). Let the stain soak awhile, depending on how bad it is -- this could be up to a couple hours or even over night. Then, soak the entire garment 1/2 hour and wash regularly. I've taken out lipstick and makeup stains this way, even dye from a wet garment than had been left on top a linen dress. Kat in NJ
