Tip for grease spots on clothes:

Put baby powder on the oil or butter spot and let it sit. The powder is supposed to absorb the grease.

I have so many old shirts with a big grease stain on the chest (my catch-all spot). No more, though! I'm going to try this trick from now on!

I use Oxi-clean. Make a paste and put it over the spot. It worked on my sofa where the girls spilled olive oil from their pasta.

OxyClean works wonders

Flour works equally as well if it happens at home. Just rub the flour into the spot and it will pull most if not all of the grease from cotton and most synthetics.
