One hazard of LCHF is that I've got grease stains on my shirts. Cooking and eating greasy food has been hard on my wardrobe! I've got to be presentable at work; shirts are expensive, and my pile of weekend-only shirts is growing! Does anyone have a good tip for removing grease stains?

I had the same problem. I finally invested in a apron!

simple green or gojo hand soap... I probably wouldn't wash anything delicate with it, but it's what we construction guys use to get grease / oil out of our work pants and shirts.

no tip for grease stains. But congrats for hanging with your program. Sounds like you're doing great.

Oxy Clean (powder) is a great product for stains. Rub some on the spots, then wash as normal. Hope this helps!

I pre-treat the grease stain with Dawn dish soap and wash as normal. Works for me!!

I've always just used a bar of bath soap on the spot, scrub a little bit, then put in laundry with the rest of my clothes to finish.

E-C has the right idea, simple and obvious as it may sound, easily overlooked!

I use an apron - I'm always splashing things on myself while I'm cooking. I have several very funny and cute ones.

Dab of Dawn dish soap or Persil liquid. Both work great.

I have used Dawn Dish soap, too.

You must have heard the saying 'wear nothing but a smile' but an apron in your case to protect yourself. lol

Thanks all! I'm going to do a special rescue operation and see if I can fix some of the spotty shirts.

You have lots of great tips....dawn, spray ' wash, oxy, gojo...we've tried them all. Alot will depend on your fabric...on silky materials, I used to put a little baby powder to pull out the grease stain and then treat.

These are just cotton jersey. I work in juvenile detention facilities and wear a basic outfit everyday of jeans and tees. Duluth Trading - very practical.

Dawn usually works for me also.

I have 2 solutions: The first is a $0.98 bar of Fels Naptha. Moisten the bar, rub it on the stain, and toss in the washer. Done! I also make my own laundry detergent. Each 5 gallon bucket costs under $5 to make, and works better than any commercial detergent I've found. The second is something my mom taught me when I was a tot: As soon as you get home, change into your 'playclothes/lounge wear/comfies'. Since nobody but me sees them, I don't care what they look like. Paint stains, grease, mystery marks...LOL! I wear an apron all day at work, so, while I have them at home, I rarely wear one. It feels too much like work!

I use palmolive dish soap to pre-treat before washing. Seems like most dish soap does the trick. I've used it for years and years - always works
