Help please. Grease stain on linen dress

[eloisesparkle]

Please help.
I had to
Use a greasy ointment on my thigh and unfortunately it transferred onto my linen dress.
I have washed it but the stain is still there.
Will anything get it out?

Washing up liquid? That's what I use on greasy stains. Rub some in and then rewash.

I'll try that - thank you

Get Dr Beckmanns oily/grease remover, always works for me even after stuff has been washed.

I'll second washing up liquid rubbed generously into the dry fabric before washing. Works every time for me.

Be careful with rubbing anything into linen as you could end up with a lighter patch where the dye lifts.
Dry cleaning might be a safer option as a one off, oil based stains dissolve in the cleaning process.

Bicarbonate of soda! Pat a generous amount into the stain, leave for about 10 mins then brush it off. Repeat until the grease has been absorbed and is no longer visible.

Washing up liquid (Fairy) failed.

Salt - in the same way as the bicarb.

I've not had Dr Beckmann fail yet. I add liberally don't blot then bung in the wash.

I had to throw out half my wardrobe when I was pregnant because I used stretch mark oil and I didn't realise but it transferred onto all my clothes and bedding
Even though to the mattress
My mum tried everything she could to remove it but in the end I just had to throw it away!
Will never use oil again!

Hope you find something that works!!!

As it's already been washed, I think try Ace, pour half a cap to a cap on the stain, leave it for 15 mins, wash it with detergent on a woollens cycle (which has more soaking). May need to repeat a couple of times.
