How do I get grease out of a shirt and trousers

[minniemoo]

My husband went out last night and came home with a kebab. His shirt and trousers were covered in grease although the carton holding the kebab was dry. Does anyone know how I can get the grease out of his clothes. Thanks all.

I have used washing up liquid (i.e. Fairy) for years on grease marks. I have even used it on dark coloured silk blouses. Just squirt a bit on stain and rub in before putting in washing machine.

Ace bleach - pour it onto stain - it will become white which means the stain is being removed. Then wash almost immediately - "WONT TAKE COLOUR OUT"

Cover grease mark with brown paper and then iron on a medium heat - the grease will soak into the paper

This is an old fashioned remedy. Try putting some thickish brown paper over the grease and iron with a fairly hot iron. The brown paper may absorb some of the grease.
Astonish is a pretty good stain remover

I sometimes pour baby powder on both sides of the spot. This often will absorb the grease. Though if it's not fresh, i don't know how well it will work.
