I’ve gotten lots of great stain removal tips from Jillee over the years. I sometimes get calls from my siblings asking if I have any ideas for stains.

Pardon me for “saying” this, but I know a much easier way to remove oil, spaghetti and tomato based sauces, possibly you don’t have it there, it’s lemon dish soap! You just drip it on the stain then just cover the whole stain with it by rubbing the dish soap in, and put it in the wash, it works every time!

Tried this and it worked really at removing tough stains.

My oily stain go-to is Goo Gone. It even works on stains that’ve been through the dryer. I apply it to the stain then wash. Then I spray it with stain remover and wash again – it sometimes leaves a whitish mark if it’s only washed once. Washing it a second time gets rid of that residue, and some of the Goo Gone scent.

Had a favorite blouse with spaghetti sauce stain. Tried everything mentioned here and more. I did get all of the colored stain out but still had an ‘oil mark’. Rather than throw the blouse out I soaked the entire blouse overnight in enough super-cheap olive oil to saturate it completely. Next day hand washed with dawn to remove the oil, rinsed well and tossed in the wash. Blouse looks beautiful. The olive oil blended the rest of the blouse with the oil mark :-)

Or you can use Simple Green…color safe and also safe on pretty much any fabric.

I’ve used baby powder for oily stains also. I just let it sit for 2 days and then washed the item as usual.
