Grease stain on a new hoodie. Treated with stain stuff and washed twice. Lost cause?

[thecatislying]

Dark brown hoodie (new - a birthday present).
He got some sort of meat grease splodged down the front of it.
I rubbed in grease remover and washed it. Didn't shift.
I rubbed in much more grease remover and left it for ages and scrubbed it with very hot water. Then sent it through the wash. Still there.

Any ideas?

Have you trued Ace?

I swear by dissolve it spray

Washing up liquid neat on the stain. Keep It dam and give time to soak in for a bit. Wash as normal. Worth a try anyway.

It looks like this and most supermarkets sell it

Wet it with water and rub in washing up liquid, wash as normal

Sorry I forgot it takes a while for photos, google Ace washing

I agree...that's my go to for grease

Layer it with kitchen paper and iron it. May soak up the worst of it.

I did that today on a grease stain from a top that had already been washed and dried. Worked a treat.

Dry shampoo, sprayed on and rubbed in to both sides, then wash.

Washing up liquid too.

Washing up liquid neat onto the stain, rub in, leave for an hour or two then wash as normal. Should work first time, if not repeat. Works even if dried in & washed already.

Bi carb made into a paste, sit it for about 24 hours, then wash off.

You can buy Rug Doctor heavy stain remover in Tesco. I had a lot left over after I’d done the carpet and discovered it is brilliant on greasy stains, even on lightweight fabrics. It costs around £4, brilliant stuff.

Definately neat washing up liquid. Coat the stain on both sides.

I had success with Elbow Grease on stains that resisted everything else.

Washing up liquid works better than any stain treatment. I keep a small bottle in my utility room with the washing machine.

if it is really set, let it soak on the spot for a few hours before washing.

Best thing to use for grease is actually washing up liquid!

Washing up liquid and rub in with a soft brush

Dr Beckmans stain devil for lubricant and grease is what you need. Don’t be tempted by the fat and cooking oil one.
It has a bit of an odd smell but I use it all the time on grease stains. I dab it on the stain front and back and wash in the washing machine as usual. It’s the only thing I’ve found that really does work

.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it 😄, but I just spray on diluted washing up liquid before washing, and that usually works.

😄
I reckon I'll try washing up liquid then...
Will update!

I swear by the Elbow Grease spay for oily stains. It’s saved a few of my partners clothes

This usually works with ds' hoodies.

If you have any Swarfega around that will definitely shift it, if not, near washing up liquid as PP have said.
