Anyone got any tips on how to get the grease and muck stains off a yellow Goretex?

They're the kind of stains that never come off, bike grease, chain cack, assorted black marks etc. And they make my jacket look like I've just climbed out of a chimney. Been through the washing machine several times and still there!

Any washing secrets to share??

    Have you tried treating them before washing with one of those sticks (e.g. Vanish stick)?

    Rub it into the stains, and then wash as normal. It seems to do the trick on my Gore Phantom (yellow softshell).
