I managed to get a nice stain on one of my polos and I can't seem to get it out. I was up @ AED and sat on a work bench (yeah I kno) and now I got a stain I can't get out with regular washing. Guessing its oil or grease. anyone got any tips for me?

did you try one of those Tide rub on stick thingies? Also you can try rubbing baking soda on it, that is my grandma's old school trick. Basically lay the shirt down and put baking soda o it and let it sit for a while. Later brush it off. Maybe do again. Then wash it in a good detergent. I think you can use Corn Starch as well. It works well, my grandfather had the cleanest overalls on the oil rigs...lol.

Nah I hadn't even got that far yet. Figured I would ask before I got creative and ended up putting a hole in my shirt or something. Lol
As far as the baking soda do I put it on dry or should I dampen the shirt?

dry, but lightly brush it in. My wife said try talcom powder if that dont work. May have to do it a couple times
If that fails last thing you can do is chalk it up as a loss. gl

fuck all that...just pour some gas on it and light it on fire. has always worked for me. Use fire extinguisher to put it out then rinse with strong stream of water.

yea that stuff may work. I think that is nothing but seltzer water and baking soda itself. I cant believe I know this stuff.

hahahahahh I didn't see the polo part of it...I thought driveway for some dumb reason. For your polo shirt I'd have NO idea. Knowing me I'd prolly just use it to help clean up more oil.
