Try some of the citrus cleaner de-greaser you would use to clean your chain.
Spray'n'Wash used to do the job on my jeans and T-shirts, but not sure if it's appropriate for jerseys.
I recently got grease on one of my favorite light pink tee shirts while cleaning my bike. I saturated the grease with shout and since I wasn't doing white wash, I just left it there for a few days then washed it and the spots are almost all out except for two little specs. I will shout them again and put it in the sun to dry. :)

a good dregreaser should work- even simple green if you have some. And what bike junkie doesn't?? :p
I also have these little bottles of stain remover from a company called "carbona" they are in little yellow bottles, and they are made specifically for the type of stain. Like grease and oil, or sauces, or chocolate.. I have quite a collection but they work great. Look for them in the laundry detergent aisle at the grocery.
I don't know about hands, but works great on clothes. And who is the one that told me about it....my mother, who else? Needless to say, I now tell my daughter. aaaaaaah Love when Mom is always right. ;)Quote:

Woolite can cause the chamois on your shorts to break down faster.
Shaula, I've used Dawn dishsoap before and had good results from it. shellyj
I second liquid Dawn!
Last summer I got a heapin' helpin' of grease on a new cotton skirt. I tried dish soap, several times, being sure not to machine dry so as not to set the stain. Only when I used Shout, and read the instructions on the third time :rolleyes: , did the grease come out. The key was to rub/scrub the the Shout into the stain.
Well the last little dot of grease on my pink shirt came out. In fact my daughter had put the shirt in the dryer after the 1st washing. I thought, forget it, the dot will is probably really set, but I sprayed Shout, left it two days and put it through the was last night and no more grease dot, shirt as good as new!
