    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.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    a good dregreaser should work- even simple green if you have some. And what bike junkie doesn't??
    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.
