Oil stains

r/

I got oil stains on my favourite pair of greyish/black jeans and it will not come out. Ive tried the vanish grease & oil remover on them about 3x (including directly after then stain happened), i’ve tried dishwashing liquid and even makeup setting powder. They have gone through the wash multiple times too. Any suggestions? They are my absolute most comfortable and favourite jeans I have i really don’t want to throw them 🙁

    Try “the master’s” hand soap. It’s formulated for taking out oil paint and artists inks.

    It’s about $6 a bar and worth every penny. There’s also a tube version called “kiss-off” that’s like a chapstick or a lipstick for more focused cleaning. You can get it at a number of art stores like blick, and online obviously.
