How do I get grease stains out of a favorite sweater?

1 Answer

Answer :

From a cursory internet expedition, I am seeing that spraying WD-40 on the grease spots, rubbing it in, and then cleaning it with dish detergent (Dawn), is a good way to get it out of cotton garments. I wouldn’t worry about the nylon and spandex.
