If you like aprons, you'll want to hop on over to the Apronista and sign up for her apron giveaway. I've become more interested in aprons lately because it seems I can't cook w/o getting grease spots on my shirts and then they get washed and then have to be rewashed because I didn't notice the spot the first time....I could go on and on, but I won't - just go and sign up! The apron she's giving away is very cute and perfect for summer!

I know what you mean about grease/oil spots. I invariably find them when I am quickly trying to change into nicer/cleaner clothes when I have to go somewhere.
How do you get yours out? I typically use Zout for first-time-around stains, but that doesn't seem to work for set-in grease stains. Instead, I make a paste out of Oxyclean and let it sit for a while. If you have an easier idea, LMK.
I didn't see the Apron Giveaway until today, after the deadline, so I was bummed. I LOVE patriotic table linens, etc., even though I only window-shop for them. I hope you win! :)
God bless,
Lori.
Hey Lori -
That's usually when I find them too! Ack! I just put liquid detergent on the spot (enough to cover/soak into the spot) and set it aside until the next load (which usually is at LEAST the next day, sometimes 2 days later....just depends) and then toss it in the load as usual. This has been working - hooray. I recently bought a big tub of powder detergent though and had to go to plan B, which was to look for some sort of stain treatment gel or some such - I happened upon Shout Grease Stain Remover Spray - that may not be the exact name (I will get it if you want to know) and you spray that on the spot, wait a few mn. and then toss it directly in the load - seems to be working also....hope that helps!
Sorry you missed entering the apron giveaway - soooo many people have entered that I doubt I'll win, but you never know, someone has to, right?
