Anyone know how to wash caulk and oil out of clothes?

Oil: Apply a grease-cutting dish detergent (i.e.: Dawn) to the oil stain and rub vigorously. Allow to sit for a couple of hours then wash in HOT water. Check stain BEFORE putting clothes in dryer (if you put in dryer and the stain is not completely removed, the stain may set in and you will not be able to remove it). If the stain remains after washing, repeat process. Keep in mind that some oil stains are near impossible to remove depending on type and amount of oil. Cooking oil is easier to remove than motor oil, which can stain as well.





Caulk: Remove as much as possible and wash ASAP! Once caulk dries, you can kiss your clothes goodbye. If it has dried, try to peel as much off as possible (but note that it may leave a mark behind as the fibers have absorbed some of the caulk). You may also try to apply ice to the area and ';break off'; pieces, but caulk is quite durable. Good luck!Anyone know how to wash caulk and oil out of clothes?
Start by letting the caulk dry and then picking off as much as you can. Spray brake degrease on the oil and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. After that, fill a sink with hot water, cover the cloths in lanolin (I think that's the name. It's a white jelly product available at automotive stores), put them into the water and scrub vigorously on a washboard and with a hard bristle brush. If you have a death wish, use the cloths washer but your spouse or laundromat owner will beat you to death with a mop if you do. It might be faster to just go shopping for new cloths.Anyone know how to wash caulk and oil out of clothes?
