New oil stains - remove ?

[superquag]

Should be a normal activity for Mrs Land Rover, removing oil stains from clothes...[bigwhistle]

Topped up son's car - in the dark - and a large amount got sloshed over my strides and shirt.

Tried soaking the patches in de-greaser, then soaked in a soapy bucket then into washing machine, normal detergent.
- Still too evident..... Odd, as it works for used, dirty oil spots.

Any really effective Miracle Ideas ? Please ??

(SWMBO is not thrilled.... she bought the shirt..)

Any really effective Miracle Ideas ?

Battery acid.......should get rid of the stain and as miracles would have it, should make the shirt quite religious[biggrin]

Seriously fokes,

WD40 + Baking Soda + Dishwashing Liquid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyJMxXtMz5g) - lotsa youtubers swear by it[bigsmile]

How to Remove Engine Oil Stains (https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Engine-Oil-Stains) - This one is by a mechanic[thumbsupbig]
If money is no object....dry cleaning?[happycry]
If all else fails soak the whole shirt in clean engine oil, then wash, at least the stain will be even all over[tonguewink].


Can't say I have tried any of these techniques, I generally like to keep my oil stains in their natural habitat, on the ground under my Land Rover[bigrolf]

Good luck with it.

(Just to be clear, not serious about the battery acid)

Sard oil and stain remover, sprayed on then left a few minutes before washing.
