BobbyDazzler Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Two sheets of kitchen paper on the stain and a hot iron, it'll melt the grease and the paper towels will blot it up! might need to do it a few times but it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curriechick Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Dampen the stain and rub in a little washing up liquid (they are made to break down grease) allow to penetrate for about 20 mins then pop in the washer and wash as normal. Can be used on delicate fabrics too as I got a grease mark out of a silk blouse by doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annina Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Try washing it with a handful of washing soda in with the soap. I put some in every wash thus enablieng(sp?) me to use the coldest temperature. It is also brilliant for keeping your drains fresh,washing paintwork and a thousand other uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbdullaJones Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 WD40 should do it. You may need to wash it a couple of times to get rid of the WD smell. If you choose to get rid of the smell that is, personally i love it but yeah, WD40 should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
