How to Get Bike Grease Out of Clothes (The Hard Ways)

The internet is packed with suggestions for removing bike grease from clothes. Some work better than others, but all have their loyal adherents. Here are some of the most popular:

  1. Sprinkle cornstarch or baby powder on the grease stain and let it sit. Shake out the garment before washing.
  2. Rub liquid dish soap, with or without a bit of baking powder mixed in, liquid laundry detergent, or shampoo into the stain. Let it soak in, and then launder the item as normal.
  3. Spray Simple Green directly onto the stains or add some to the wash water.
  4. Use Goo-Gone, Goof-Off, or a similar product on the stains before washing.
  5. Try a harsh cleaner such as tire cleaner, oven cleaner, or brake cleaner before washing as normal.
