This is very serious!

Lighter fluid and a toothbrush, keep dabbing with a clean cotton cloth.

Trichloroethylene. If you can get hold of it. It's rumoured to dissolve fat deposits under your skin as well. Trike is good stuff.

My wife put something on it and scrubbed it , then left it overnight. It is now in the washing machine. Keep fingers crossed. What annoys me really is that it was the first time I wore it!

make a paste with a bio washing powder and water , wet the tshirt. put said paste on the stain. agitate the area between hands, leave overnight but dont let the shirt or the paste dry out

agitate well betwen hands then wash on a normal wash cycle. ta da. clean stain free tshirt.

when I was working on oily machines my overalls used to get soaked overnight in a bucket of water and washing powder as it starts to break the oil down before getting a good wash.

Best not to inhale its fumes, but if you do, just don't smoke soon after, eh?

Mrs Gavroche has done a very good job as my T-shirt is saved and wearable again. Actually , it is a polo shirt. I am a lucky man to have a wife like that.

What did she do to it, pray tell?

 

[gavroche]

From what I could see, she put raw washing powder on it and scrubbed it with a brush and left it overnight. Then in the washing machine for a full long wash and that's it I think.

Did we ever see the before and after photos?

Afraid not. Never crossed much mind but take my word for it.
