Reply to comment by ChickenCheeks7 in LPT: How to get grease spots out of pants by ChickenCheeks7

Yes.

I have pulled shirts and pants out of the dryer with grease stains that I missed dozens of times and I always manage to get them out.

Dab the grease with dawn (or similar dish soap), rub it in well and let it sit.

Wash again with hot water.

Okay I’ll try that thank you! If not you think some kind of stain remover will work?

Dish soap should do the trick.

Just make sure to use it liberally and rub it in well.

Stain removers are good but in my experience don't get grease out quite as well.

Wow I’m surprised. So dish soap and rub in. Should I wash the pants alone in hot after?

No need to wash them alone.

Dish soap is made to remove oil from dishes. Does the same on cloth and feathers

Add a little baking soda to make a paste. This will help you rub it into the fibers well, but baking soda is also a mild alkali that helps dirt and grease dissolve in water.
