How do you get an olive oil stain out of something?

Father in law has spilt olive oil on his best trousers (polyester type, I should think) He put them straight in the washing machine but the stain is still there.


Help please.How do you get an olive oil stain out of something?
In the future asw soon as it happens, put some baby powder, baking soda, powder, etc.. on the spot right away. This absords the oil and helps lift the stain. Before putting into the wash spray some shout on it and rub in circular motion, then wash as usual.





Since you have already washed it the stain may be set in. But try shout and leave it to sit overnight. Good luckHow do you get an olive oil stain out of something?
Try ';Shout';. It's pretty good at getting oil stains out.
OXI - Clean!!! love this stuff. It gets most 'natural' stains out.
You could try fairy liquid or some other washing-up liquid.. Put it on the stain (dry) and then put it in a washing machine! Has worked for me!
oxiclean .........the one where you cary it with you! and then through it in the washer.
