How do i get oil stains out of clothes?

I think our washing machine has an oil leak in the drum, and its put dark stains on almost everything i put in it! Is there any way i can get the stains out?How do i get oil stains out of clothes?
Dawn dish washing detergent work on some oil stains but I usually use Simple Green for such stains. Simple Green is a concentrated cleaner that works wonderfully on greasy stuff. You can buy it in a lot of grocery, hardware and automotive stores. Discount stores and some of the big box retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot also sell it. It's also non-toxic and biodegradable. And of course, there is always their web site!





I just give the stains a good spray (it won't bleach out the color) and let the product soak for a couple of hours before washing. Check the stains before you toss the item in the dryer to be sure the stain is gone. Sometimes, it takes a second treatment.How do i get oil stains out of clothes?
Try to pretreat your clothes with some mechanics hand cleaner, called fast orange. It smells great and I have great success in getting oil and grease stains out of clothing with it. For the machine, I would run some very hot water with extra detergent in it, even a few times and then a few extra hot rinses to make sure the oil plus soap is out. Here is a link to the Fast Orange at auto zone:
