How to get oil out of cycling shirt?

[Seigi]

So, I managed to get a big lovely splodge of black oil on the white part of my cycling shirt (god knows how, as it's almost under my armpit), and after countless washes it doesn't seem to be budging, is there any recommendation or am I simply going to have to put up with it as a war scar?

Thanks,
Seigi.

Rub some raw washing up liquid into the stain, leave it for a while, 20 minutes or so,then wash it in the machine as normal.

the old wives tale says soaking in milk can get the majority out... or is that for ink?

Wear it with pride.

Cut out the affected area and then make sure you wear a white vest under your cycling jersey, problem solved

I have one on my favourite jersey , it's the same shape and size as my front chainring, no idea where it came from, it's faded a little over several months of being washed, but you can still see it

Only buy gear that is the same colour as an old oil stain.

Wash it in oil. Won't get the stain out but will do a good job of hiding it

Very clever!

I think I'm going to try the washing up liquid method first and will report back to see if it hepled!

Stain devil for oil specifically. Excellent range.

This, but make sure the fabric is dry before you use the Swarfega.
