What is the best product for removing oil stains from my clothing?

I have tied using vanish before washing at a high temperature but still no success

Surely there must be some good old wives' advice ?

    Swarfega before the wash. Rub it in good and proper.

    Or Fairy Liquid before the wash.

    Best thing I have found and virtually instant is Vanish Bio spray.

    Alternatively wd40

    Brake cleaner is another good oil solvent

    It may be easier to soak the whole short in the oil in question.

    There will no longer be a stain as the whole short is coated in the stuff

    It may make them easier to get on and off

    You will have a ready lubed pad :D
