I got black grease all over the front of my favorite t-shirt. I tried scrubbing it with soap and Shout. Got most of it out but a bit remains.

What product works go for getting black grease out of cotton?

what you do, is you take a mixture of gasoline and water, dip your shirt in it and light it up. the water makes sure the shirt doesn't burn off. then all you gotta do, is wash the t-shirt and presto!

From a simple Google search...

One of the best degreasers for clothing I have found (and cheapest) is Dawn dishwashing liquid. Just put a little on before washing, rub and throw it in the washer.
"How do I clean automotive grease from clothing? "

It is always best to treat any petroleum based stain as quickly as possible. Grease, etc. , attracts dirt and will destroy fabrics if untreated. Try these techniques :
First, when stain is fresh, blot as much excess with paper towels.

Next, we recommend using a spot remover / dry cleaning fluid. Follow the directions and use gloves in a well ventilated area. Place the garment with the stain facing onto a clean, white, absorbent cloth. Then soak another like cloth with the spotting solution and blot the stain from the back. The dissolved grease will transfer to the under cloth.

Rinse the garment with water and repeat only if necessary (dry cleaning fluid can be very hard on many fabrics).

Get a product call Oxyclean, double the dosage and let the shirt soak for a long time, then wash as usual. Usually works on damn near everything else.
