stain removers!

[Kim Allen]

My DH is a mechanic and most of his clothes are oil stained! I was needing a good homemade oil stain remover please!  I was thinking dawn and peroxide??

Not sure how natural it is but my mum used to use the hand cleaning gel on my brothers stuff (he worked in the workshop of a bike repair place)

this is the one we used to have

I would do dish detergent (dawn, like you said).  I've had set in oil stains and I put dish soap on it and used a toothbrush to scrub it in, then threw it in the wash like normal (if it's a bad oil/grease spot then I will let it sit for a few minutes first) and they always come out.  Good luck!!
