Grease all over Pearl Izumi windbreaker - any hope?

DP got grease on her neon yellow PI this weekend - took some Dawn and a toothbrush to it, threw it in the wash (cold water) and voila - stains be gone!

personally I swear by simple green sprayed on the spot and scrubbed in with a toothbrush. If that doesn't work I just wear the satin with pride, as it shows that I am a riding biker not a fashion biker, but then I have never been color coordinated or fashionable, prefering comfort and practicality over style. Henze the marine buzz, farmers tan and black shorts I can wipe my greasy hands on.

Pure olive oil soap - the kind you can buy from Greek merchants. This soap is super mild and yet it take out grease with the best items.

I had years old grease stains on khakis and a t-shirt (clothing had been relegated to 'painting' clothing). I just wet the stain with water, rubbed some olive oil soap on it (its a bar soap), scrubbed the fabric together and then tossed it in with the wash. The stains were gone!!! I repeated the same process with a Cannondale jacket that had old bike grease stains on it (that we'd tried everything on) and it came 100% clean.

We also successfully used it to get bike grease out of ivory wool berber carpet when nothing else would work.

I'm telling you - this stuff is the BOMB.
