My daughter was at a sleepover and somewhere along the lines she got grease on her cute little Under Armour pink pants. I didn't realize that she had gotten grease on them and washed and dried them. I have soaked them in a mix of peroxide and Dawn Soap and that didnt' work so I tried Oxy Clean, still nothing. Is there any hopes or am I just SOL?
Its not food grease. Its like oil or mechanical grease.

What can I do next?

Fels Naptha laundry bar. Wet the fabric and rub the bar into it until the soap is worked into the stain. Wash as usual.

Fels Naptha gets nearly everything out.

Try Goop Hand Cleaner in the hardware department. It may take a few applications, but it has lifted set in grease stains for me.

What kind of grease? If it's from food, soak it before washing (overnight). The dish soap is a good idea, but in addition to the dish soap, use some liquid laundry detergent and some vinegar.

Read up on Vinegar and Water, I know it's good for lots of things.
Maybe soak and wash in cold water. Good Luck!

Rub chalk in it and let it sit overnight and then wash it. I have never tried it after the item has been washed and dried but it is worth a shot.

answers from Norfolk on

I use to get greasy marks on my pants when they got caught in my bike chain.
Sometimes the grease would wash out and sometimes it wouldn't.
That meant that the stained pants would become strictly play clothes - no wearing them to school or anywhere but in the yard.
Having a pair or two that could get stained and grungy meant my other clothes stayed in better shape.
