    grease!how to remove

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I am a grease magnet. My white and black netti jacket has grease on it plus, stains from sunscreen on sleeves. I also have grease marks on shoes.
    I can clean my chain and try to wipe it off better next time but what to do about really, all my clothing?( the non black ones, which I bought for night riding as all other clothes are black for obvious reasons!)
    I live in Australia, but can get most conventional big name products.( I hate non enviro ones but may stoopto getting some if they REALLY take grease out)

    It depends a little bit on the fabric, but these guys have some good laundry products (along with their other good cleaning stuff):

    If it doesn't come out, and you really want it to, keep working on it; sometimes a few rounds will get the baddies out.

    For jerseys/other clothing, I have found Shout stain stick to be effective on bike grease.

    For saddles, bar tape and skin, baby wipes are a miracle.

    Olive oil based bar soap works a treat. I've used it on wool and my cycling jacket. Took the grease smudges right out. Another cool tip that I picked up from the cool women of TE.
    Everything in moderation, including moderation.

    This will definately get the greese off.. it works everytime for me!

    Just use a little of dishwashing detergent.. Squirt a little on the greeesed area and rub in with your finger/fingernail.. rinse and walla all gone!! Depending on how bad it is you may need to repeat this a few times!!
