I have the Screaming Yellow PI Wind Whisper jacket. I got grease on it last year and "Shout" got it out. I sprayed it, let it sit a while, then washed in the machine. I was considerably lighter. Do not put it in the dryer!!! I sprayed more shout, let it sit, then tried to rub it out. After the process repeat a few times, I have no more grease on my jacket.
My Mom has been using Shout for years, and I do not think it has ever failed us. Sometimes you might have to add a little elbow grease but eventually stains will come out

As I was just throwing towels in the washer, I looked up at the shelf and realized I knew the answer to your Q. I had just forgotten it.
Go to a Joann's or Hancocks Fabric store and ask for the Carbona products. They have these little bottles that are specialized for a particular type of stain.
I second SHOUT. That is what I use. It works so well sometimes I'll work on my bike in white and pink blouses, and the stains come right out.
I know this is an old thread...but I just wanted to tell you that the wd-40 and dawn work wonders. I got home from my ride today and noticed that I had chain marks on my new jersey and immediately came to the forum because I knew the ladies here would know how to get it out!

I've discovered that the orange smelling tennis shoe cleaner that comes in a foaming can takes bike grease off of car seats so you might try that? I bought mine at Footlocker a while back. It's called Oxy-Sport cleaner. Hope that helps.
Dawn is not formulated for fabrics, use liquid Tide which is formulated to remove grease from fabric.
