this is totally off topic, but i just found out that if u get a grease stain is ur clothes, u can just put some shampoo on it and throw it in the washing machine… it’ll come out so fresh and so clean
just wanted the world to know :mrgreen:
I don’t know about shampoo but dishsoap is the best thing i have ever found…makes sense since Dawn takes grease…outta the way! 
oh but i wouldn’t leave it sit too long. i did once and it sorta bleached out the area…not white but it was defintely lighter.
And Dawn is animal safe! They use it to clean off penguins after oil-spills. 
both shampoo and Dawn get the job done. but dont leave it in too long as brendajos said…that cant b good…
My SIL uses a combination of WD-40 and Dawn and scrubs it out. She swears by it. I’ve yet to try it…

yeah i would have a hard time purposely putting WD-40 on my clothes…i would make her prove it…lol
I swear by Lestoil it works like a charm.
Wow, I didn’t know they even made that anymore. Haven’t heard that name since I was a kid.
Dawn does work well, but frankly the stuff SMELLS like WD-40! You end up having to rewash you clothes with detergent to get the smell out.
Have any of you used those “pens?” What a joke! I used the Tide one and it took out the stain but left it’s own stain on my shirt that was permanent discoloration. I just went back to carrying a bib with me… :eyebrow: 
I’ve used the Clorox Bleach pen on whites with good luck. Glad to hear about the Tideone-I have one in my desk for emergencies. Thank goodness I haven’t had one yet, since it leaves a stain of its own. Guess I’ll throw it in file 13.
i have never noticed that problem with the tide pens but i do have better luck with shout wipes than the tide pens. :shrug:
of course i may have just not noticed and will actually see small little white-ish dots sometime when i am not expecting it and wonder what they came from… :teehee:
I have recently found a truly great product. Dr. Bronner’s SAL Suds. It cleans everything is non-toxic, bio-degradable and not tested on animals. This stuff eats grease for breakfast.
I use the tide pen all the time and haven’t had a problem. It took coffee out of my white shirt and khaki pants the other day. Maybe it was a certain kind of fabric? Do you remember what the fabric was that was stained?
I use Dawn on almost all stains… I keep thinking I’m going to remeber to get a tide pen for the car but never remeber… :doh:
