laundry Q - cooking spray splatter
We had a bit of an issue with a faulty can of cooking spray a while back. DH popped the cover off, and all the spray that had oozed out into the cap went all over his sweatshirt. It's been washed a few times - because he's a man and doesn't think about stain treating until it's too late.
Any good ideas on how to get the greasy spots out of this sweatshirt that he insists on wearing all. the. time?

Throw it in the trash when he's not looking
Has it been through the dryer or just the washer?
If it's been through the dryer, you may be too late. Usually when grease stains go through the dryer they are stuck there permanently.
For pretreating grease stains (and pretty much everything else), I like to use a bar of Fels Naptha. It's old fashioned and cheap and works remarkably well. I wet the stain, scrub it with the Fels Naptha, rinse, and air dry. If the stain is gone, then I wash it with the regular laundry.
DISH DETERGENT!
I read this somewhere a long time ago and now I use it whenever I spill something greasy on myself. Works like a charm!
