Slimpsy1647545505 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Soooo, I changed my mower's oil and somehow the pan got flipped up inside a box of sentimental clothes in the garage, spilling used oil all over them (dresses and such from when my girls were babies). Needless to say I'm in the dog house and she is quite upset. I've researched some online and a lot of people are saying dawn dish soap or gojo?? I just wanted to get some actual opinions before ruining them further, lol. Thanks to any and all help/advice. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Why would you have sentimental clothes just hanging around in the garage? I dunno.. Maybe try Oxyclean? Billy Mays said it worked (didn't do shit to the red stain in my carpet though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hoarding though, it's just like first dresses and such, shit the wife wants to keep for whatever reason. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Now that I think about it.. best bet is to take them to a dry cleaner. Have them professionally done. Best not fuck them up any more than they are by putting off the shelf shit on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 First of all, the stain needs to be removed correctly at the first try. Second washing would not do much. The principle is to gradually remove oils until it's something easily removed by detergent. So, the spilled oil needs to be thinned out. I would use WD40 or the likes. Don't throw them in the washer, but do this outside. Spray all the motor oil until it's "replaced" by WD40 and the run down is clear. Next, you will need even lighter oil or mild petroleum-based solvent. Goof Off or Goo Gone will work, but depending on the delicacy of the garment, Stoner's Tarminator might be a better choice. Make sure all WD40 has been "replaced". I would wait for several minutes for the excess to evaporate then throw the garments in the washer with hot or very warm water. Double dose the detergent and set it at the longest agitating cycle; repeat the cycle 2-3x, if need be, then let the washer runs through. Repeat if they still smell like the light oil/solvent. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
