20 Best Grease Remover For Clothes (2023 Updated)

I was looking for a good spot cleaner and had a lot of concerns as I have ever only Found one that works and I no longer know someone who sells for that company (an MLM but so good!). I hopped on to Amazon, hoping beyond hope that they would have it listed.

Of course they didn’t, but the search pulled up other pre-spot treatments. Since I have never had any success with other pre-spot treatments I was greatly worried about trying one and having it permanently set the stain (common theme with stain removers).

I had this beautiful dress and shirt that I wanted So badly to save. I scoured the reviews for hours reading the good, bad and ugly about each spot remover. The kept popping up, but me being me, kept dismissing it because it was a foam instead of a liquid which I knew was the far superior remover (how I knew that I couldn’t say).

Finally, I pulled up the reviews on the foaming spot remover and was surprised to read all the positive results others had experienced from the product. Yes, other products had positive reviews as well, but not as specific as the Oxi Clean Max Force Foaming remover did.

I was sold when I read how the Oxi Clean Max Force removed stubborn deodorant stains, for one reviewer, because that was exactly one of the stains I was so desperate to remove. That sold me and as soon as this stain remover arrived I had to try it out.

With crossed fingers I saturated the stains on my clothes and let them sit overnight, hoping that would help break up the stain (if anything it wouldn’t hurt to let the stain remover sit overnight). Now when I say saturate it means nothing like when your Spraying a liquid or using a gel.

Three pumps of foam was enough to really soak the spot and allow me to rub the area together. With such a little amount used on each spot, I was thinking if this works it’s going to save me a lot Of money because I with other removers, I would have to use a lot More product to get the slide needed to rub the fabric together and feel Like there was enough product to really break down the stain.

The next day I washed all the items that had been foamed (there were more than just the two that I was really concerned about. I must be a hot mess!). I didn’t put the items in the dryer just in case the first go had failed and I’d need to try again.

But WOW! It hadn’t! I didn’t have to wash any of the items a second time, which I truly was expecting to have to do with at least a couple pieces of clothing. It worked that good! I was surprised to see that every stain, from grease to sweat, deodorant stains that I have never successfully removed to just every day grime and dirt stains, had come out the various fabrics.

I have since used it multiple times and I am in love. Just a little bit of foam gives you enough product to be able to feel like it is saturated enough to help break up whatever has landed there. I do use more on denim, but that’s a choice.

I’m really don’t know if less product would work as well. And I do have each piece process overnight. Again, that’s a preference not a necessity. But no matter how you choose to treat your stains, the Oxi Max Force Foaming stain remover is the bomb! Even though the cost for this product was lower than any other remover I’ve tried before, I, personally, was surprised how small a bottle you get.

But let me tell you, it might be small compared to the liquid spray bottles, but this foaming remover will last quite a long time. So thank you to everyone who took the time to express their experience with this product, good or bad.

You all gave me the courage to try a new spot remover and I’m in love!.

I went to the store to buy a stain remover and decided to look at other ones because the one I had just wasn’t really doing it’s job. I wear White V Neck T-shirts and half the time I usually end up throwing them away and buying new ones because the stains just don’t come out completely.

I wish I would have taken a picture or video before I washed them. My shirts had chocolate stains, sauce stains, grease stains. I said “Let’s see if this remover really works”. I was completely amazed! When I pulled my shirts out I was flabbergasted.

I have never seen a stain remover this powerful. Not only were the stains gone but my shirts are completely white without bleach. I would love to buy a big bottle but unsure if you make bigger bottles.

I would give it 10 Stars if I could but it definitely gets 5 HUGE stars! Thank you for such a phenomenal product !.

100 stars!! If you have kids or periods or any type of issue with stains, BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY!! This stuff works so well and is FAST! My daughter got a bloody nose in the middle of the night and I forgot to check her bedding for stains.

By time I remembered it was HOURS later. Sure enough, there were a few very obvious, brown, dried blood spots on her light purple comforter. I wasn’t optimistic but I tried anyway, sprayed this stuff on and gently scrubbed with a toothbrush and the stains disappeared before my very eyes.

No elbow grease at all! This stuff is phenomenal.

Best stain remover on the planet !! Removed stains in shirts that had been there for years and had been washed and dried several times, that wouldn’t come out until I used Zep !!

Haven’t seen a stain that this product hasn’t defeated! Works wondered on mesh sneakers as well!

Removed very old grease and oil stains. Smells strong when you apply, but goes away when washed. Awesome product.

Removes all kinds of stains. **** stains are almost impossible to get out once they set in but this does an amazing job at removing those even if the onesie is white. It works even better on fresh stains.

The only issue I have with this is that the formula makes it impossible to spray with the bottle. It’s not that I got a defective product because I have 3 bottles with the same issue. I even moved it to a new bottle not made by this company and it still has the issue.

This stain remover is one of my favorite products. However, I often choose to buy I different brand because of the spray bottle that this product is in. The spray bottle often drips or sprays onto both the clothes and my hands when doing laundry.

I have eczema on my hands, so it’s a big issue for me. I wish the hand a better spray bottle.

It really works! Not only on my kids clothes/bibs but on my husband’s as well. My only complaint is that over the time appears little white lumps in the liquid making it hard to spray over, not sure what happened.

But I would definitely purchase it again because of its clean of toxins and eco friendly formula.

So far today I have gotten to sriracha and enchilada sauce out of a light blue outfit. The only thing that I noticed that was wrong was that it smelled like poop. I’ve had this pen for maybe a year now.

I remember a lady at work had one that was a little bit older and it smelled like poop too. I didn’t see anything about an expiration date on there. Is there a reason for it to smell this way?? Other than that the product is absolutely amazing.

I’m guessing after it ages it stink because when I first bought it and used it it did not smell. I did a quick Google search and some people compare it to vomit, but for me it’s definitely poopy lol Can we figure out how to solve this stinky problem Tide?? This product is definitely a lifesaver and would hate not to be able to keep it for months for when I really need to use it because of the smell.

I was on an Amtrak to Chicago when Aunt Flow decided to pay me a surprise visit at the very end. When I got up from the seat to disembark from the train, a huge trail of blood slid down the side of my leg!! I was mortified.

I tied a jacket around my waist, cleaned up the visible part of my leg with a hand wipe, and rushed to the women’s bathroom. I changed, then rinsed my shorts in the sink, dotted the stain with this pen, rubbed it in, rinsed again.

Did this a couple times, dried it using the hand dryer, threw it in my backpack, and forgot about it. When I pulled them out again. it was as if aunt flow had never visited!! This product is pricey but so worth it when your favorite pair of white-striped blue shorts gets stained.

Highly recommend the investment!.

I used this on some tiny specks of a stain from foam from a coffee that was almost out on a brand new 128. 00 dollar White Ralph Lauren Sweater. It ruined my sweater it stained it a deep yellow and spread about 2 inches in each direction on every part that I applied it.

What was like 3 tiny specks turned into inches of deep yellow blotched stains. I have since bleached the sweater 4 times and it never came out. 128 dollar brand new sweater completley ruined by a tide pen.

Never use this, if will literally ruin your clothes. That sweater was very special and expensive and I only got to wear it this once. More than upset about it.

Flip top seal failed when shaking oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, drenching a relatively new all-cotton dark T-shirt. Immediately soaked overnight in my old standby Lestoil (it has worked on less saturated laundry oil stains in the past) but no improvement this time after laundering in hot water.

Next tried Carbona Oil and Tar Stain Devil, with only slight improvement (their whitening sheets are the best though!) As a last ditch effort purchased Grandma’s Spot Remover since it included grease/oil stains on labelling.

Saturated and left overnight before hot wash cycle with Tide Hygienic Clean. The shirt is like new, no stain and no fading! A near laundry miracle! Thanks Grandma.

I bought this maybe a year ago now, because I was desperate to get my monthly blood stains out of clothes, and hair dye stains out of clothes. And now all of my stained clothes are as clean as I purchased, or better, and no colour was stripped from the clothing, so they look exactly as they did before the stains.

And any stain I’ve sprayed it on was completely clean. This spray is a miracle worker and worked better than anything else I’ve tried. I’ve never regretted this purchase, and started encouraging my friends to get this.

And the price is not expensive at all! Has been the most useful stain remover I’ve used. 10/10 would buy again, without even waiting for a sale.

Zout is the only laundry pretreatment product worth spending money on. if it doesn’t work; the stain is permanent. I’ve used this product for years. in laundromats and all the types of machines you find there and now my own washer.

I’ve always been happy with the results.

My husband is a Diesel Truck Mechanic and he’s tough on his uniforms. Shout’s Grease Busting FOAM is the ONLY laundry product that works! He came home one day while I was away for a girls weekend, and sent me a picture with the caption “Can you save it?” (meaning his shirt).

Even though the stains had a long weekend in which to set-in, Shout came to the rescue! Please don’t ever stop making this product! We’ve tried other Shout products when the Grease Busting Foam was difficult to find and they’re just not the same.

Grease Busting Foam is where it’s at!.

I had been using this for a long time and suddenly it couldn’t be found. I thought it had been discontinued. Tried several others and NOTHING worked as well. How happy I am that apparently it’s back! I got a big black grease stain on one of my favorite sweaters and thought it was ruined.

It is now squeaky clean and you’d never know that stain was ever there. This stuff is the best for almost any stain, but especially good for greasy ones! Thank you, whoever brought this back!.

If you have to deal with kitchen grease stains, diesel, motor oil or any other type of oil on your clothes then this is what you’ve been looking for. Spray your clothes anywhere or you have a grease stain then let sit for one hour and wash as normal.

Do not leave this product on your clothes overnight. It will create a stain of its own. However if you do forget a load that has been sprayed then simply re-spray, let sit for 30 minutes and wash. I should own stock in this product I have been using it for 20 years best stuff ever.

I haven’t been able to use all the products in my order enough to make a firm opinion, but I must say that the citrus all purpose cleaner is awesome!! Cleans great, smells great and doesn’t leave any streaks on my stainless steel appliances! I also ordered the lavender detergent, did a few loads of smelly dog blankets and they came out clean and fresh without a overpowering scent.

In cold water!! I forgot to mention that I also ordered the stain remover, sprayed a linen colored sofa cover that was more brown in the middle where the dogs lay (when we are out of course. lol) let it set for about 10min then laundered.

Came out of the washer looking clean and like new!! I still have to try out the order remover but I’m sure it will work above and beyond any other products I’ve used before finding”Defunkify” I can’t wait to tell my daughter’s about my experiences with Defunkify!!.

I have used enzyme cleaners on pet stains before, so I was predicting this would probably be a decent cleaner. It went way, way beyond decent. My son brought over his gazebo. You know how the outdoor fabric gets that greenish dark discoloration from weather, trees, and such? That level of dirt has never come clean with any cleaner I’ve used in the past.

The canopy fabric was the first thing I tried this product on. I soaked the edges where the water had collected and really left ingrained debris. I did let it sit a while and then scrubbed and washed.

Yep. It came clean. Except for sunfade and some light discoloration in a few places, all the years’ worth of gunk- gone! I never expected it would really lift the darkest stains out, but it did such a good job! I did respray and rescrub the worst places twice while washing, but that’s it.

One more surprising stain lift: dried blood on a sheet that has been washed, dried, and stored. I found I had missed where my daughter had scratched her leg in her sleep – on white sheets, no less. I had been using this for about a month and many ground in stains has come out fully, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Peroxide will usually handle fresh blood or wine, but not when it’s old and dried. I spritzed the places with both, only expecting the fresh ones to lift in the wash. They all came out. Jaw drop. I would not have bet money on that before, but I would now! Mind you, these are all smaller than a dime, so it wasn’t like it fixed a crime scene, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it could.

I’m super pleased and plan to keep it on hand. The powder detergent is what I used with the above, so maybe it was the double dose? Either way, they both work extremely effectively.

Here’s a story: I have several backyard chickens and this year we hatched 3 chicks. Turns out that two of them are future roosters so they occasionally get into small fights now that they’re getting older (I’ll separate them before too long, here).

There’s never any serious damage, but they’re las test sparing match did draw a little bit of blood from one chick’s comb. I put iodine on it to keep it from getting infected. The chick shook his head and got iodine on my brand new light blue shirt in multiple oblivious places.

I thought I was going to have to kiss that shirt goodbye, but I decided to try the stain remover spray (and washed with defunkify detergent). When I pulled my shirt out of the wash, there wasn’t even a shadow or hint of iodine left.

Not even a ghost and iodine is no joke when it comes to staining! Granted, I’ve only had to try the stain remover once, but I’m impressed with the results and will use this on any other stains that I find need removing!.

I bought one of these for stains on several shirts. It worked great! I then ordered 2 more. On a patterned white towel my mom had was really dirty. Looked terrible. I brought it home and sprayed it, getting every spot.

It came out looking like new. I have not had a spot on any of the items that are dirty, or have stains on them. I have used it on shirts, knit shirts, blouses, and even on a very heavy sweater. The end of the sleeves were dirty.

I doubted that they would come out, as my mom had not washed it in 2 years. It also came out perfect. I am so thrilled with this product, that I make sure that I have one bottle on hand. It’s a wonderful feeling not having to worry about heavily soiled laundry, or spots on blouses, sweaters, and dresses – everything comes clean.

No fear of ruining any pieces of laundry.

I cannot believe what I saw when I used this. I had a spray can of black paint get a puncture in the can and it spewed paint all over which left a mess on a stuffed teddy bear that belongs to my granddaughter.

I sprayed the Oxi Clean on it, rubbed with a wash cloth and the black paint disappeared before my eyes. I about fell over. I can’t be too graphic about what it did to my mattress but stains are vanished without any kind of paint effort.

Both were made to look new again. Oh, and my car seats are brand new again. I’ll never use anything else again. The price is extremely low for such an excellent product. I’m beyond impressed. Way to go, Oxi Clean.

I was very disappointed when I received my package. The two bottles of Oxy-Clean were bundled together in a plastic bag and the bag was half full of liquid oxy-clean from having leaked out. The box was wet inside and one corner on the outside of the box was wet that I had to take the cleanser out and set it in a plastic container and throw the box away.

I have always liked the product and will somehow figure out a way to use this cleaner even if I have to use a paint brush to get some of the liquid out of the plastic bag. I wrote to the company that apparently packaged the cleanser and mailed it out but got no reply from them.

I have a hard time answering these questions. Yes, I like the product and would recommend it to others but not to order it and have it shipped to them. Thank you.

I first started using Shout Advanced when I received it as a baby shower gift. I didn’t quite understand the need at the time, but I would soon experience the holy grail of grossness that comes with a newborn: the up the back blow out.

This Shout spray has held up against some level 4 poo blow outs that would usually just have me throwing the whole baby outfit away. I rinse the onsie in the basment sink with cold water, spray on the gel and let it sit a few minutes before tossing in the washer on cold.

Gets the stain right out! Things I’ve also used it for: toddler tshirts with pasta stains and juice stains. Shorts with dirt and grass stains. Dry clothes with old stains. Even on white clothes, Shout gets the job done.

So now I’m the one handing it out to everyone I know having a baby. Just doing my part to save the cute onsies, one blow out at a time.

I absolutely 💯 swear by this product. SC Johnson Shout Triple Acting Laundry Stain Remover is amazing on stains, doesn’t harm colors, and is not expensive at all. I have tried everything. Over the years I have had messy kids mud puddle stains, blood stains, grass, makeup, food spills, urine, and many other hard to remove stains on my families clothes.

and Shout hasn’t let me down once. How I have found this product to be effective is to spray it on the clothing item stain and place it in washer, prior to drying the fabric I check it again. if it’s still noticeable I will spray it again and rehash it.

This has done the trick everytime. Once it goes in dryer it’s impossible to get stain out. so I always check first. SHOUT doesn’t let me down. and I haven’t needed to throw anything away because my family has ruined it.

I won’t wash my families clothes without it!!!.

I buy this product all the time and I swear buy it. I love this product but I do not understand why I can not find this larger size in my local stores like I have been able to do so for years? The price has went up almost $7 and I want to know why? People are suffering to make ends meet and the maker of this product has almost doubled in price.

The other size of this product has not increase just this size and I am still able to purchase those smaller sizes in local stores. This size of the product went from $9. 99 to almost S17. I gave a 4 star for the product it self and would have gave a 5 star because this product works.

It takes the stains out and smell out of your laundry. I can not see myself using any other product for laundry. I have thought about doing a Youtube video showing how amazing this product. That is why I am disappointed about the huge price increase and not being able to get the larger size in my local stores like I have been able to do for several years in the past.

I would recommend this product but would let people know how much this price has increased. I am sure you will lose customer because after this I will be looking for other stain removeable products that is reasonably price.

Thank you in advance Concern customer.

I have been using this product for many years and when it became hard to find in my area I almost panicked! What a relief to find it online and at a great price to boot. I got a triple pack and breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived.

Nice speedy delivery too. This is, by far, the best stain remover I have ever come across and it has never damaged any of my laundry items in any way. Many thanks!.

Whink Wash Away is the best stain remover ever. I have been using it for years and have saved so much money not throwing away tops that have a stain. When I first tried this product, I used it on three tops that the dry cleaners could not get the stains out, whink got the stains out.

I treat the stain, wash item in washer, hang up to dry; if stain is not completely out, I repeat again.

This is the BEST Spot/Stain Cleaner ANYWHERE ! It works on ALL Types of material/carpet-fantastic for Blood, or Hard to Clean Stains, but is the BEST ANYWHERE for Pet Urine on Carpet. Nothing else would get rid of the Orange tinge that was left behind, even with my professional carpet cleaner.

But, WASH AWAY not only did what my Expensive Carpet Cleaner didn’t, it also removed the smell from the Padding under the carpet. No more walking into the house with the smell of urine, but no fresh spots-YEAH !!!!.

Not only is this super effective, but it doesn’t have a smell! All the other state rivers I’ve tried work OK but they stink up the entire load of wash and it stays like that for weeks after multiple washes.

This has zero smell, and I’m super sensitive to scents. And this is nice because you just spray on leave for five minutes rub a little bit and throw it in the wash! And it works! It even works on stains that have already been set and dried in the dryer.

That’s amazing. I want a great price! I only discovered this because my mom had it at her house and my little boy of course made some messes on his clothes, and that stuff worked great.

Incredible! My girls made ketchup all over her white skirt. Its heart broken cos that was the favourite skirt of us. I thought I wound need to give it up. I tried out RESOLVE max, spray it all over the stain and left for some time.

It stated to wait 5 min max but we just forgot about it after spraying it and left it there for 15min. We then rub it and wash it in cold water (although it said warmest water as possible) as we wash together with some wool product.

It all came off!!!! We can’s see the stain AT ALL!!! I should have taken a photo before wash it but I was too sad to do that at that time.

Worked well on black bike chain oil stains on light colored pants and olive oil on a t-shirt. Didn’t work as well on greasy sunscreen stains on light colored t-shirts. It has a strong chemical odor that those with chemical sensitivity will not like.

It bothered my eyes and made me sneeze. I hung my clothes in the garage for 1 week to try to get rid of this smell – even on clothes not treated, the whole load smelled.

I’m as bad as a toddler when it comes to spilling food on myself. As a result, many dresses and tops now had what I thought were permanent stains. None of the items were made of materials that could be washed with chlorine bleach, though I did try to pretreat the stains with detergent and soap.

Nothing worked, even soaking overnight. After spilling something on a brand new dress, I decided to give Shout Advanced a go. while I was at it, I decided to treat the now months old stains on the other garments.

To my surprise and delight, not only did Shout get out the new stains, but the old stains were completely gone! The colors and finish of the fabric was untouched! All items were washed in warm or cold water on delicate cycle, and it still worked!.

Did this product remove set in stains from my three lovely dogs? Yes. Did it remove pit stains from my husband’s white shirts? Also yes. Does the awful smell ever go away? Who knows! Truly an effective product that I will sadly never be able to use again because the strong chemical “fragrance” is so overwhelming and gross.

I don’t love the scent of detergent to begin with, but figured I could just run an extra rinse cycle and things would be fine. Nope! My eyes started watering and I started sneezing after five minutes of wearing a shirt that was treated with this stuff.

It smells like you washed a shirt in a bottle of fabric softener and then used a full container of dryer sheets. I have washed these items multiple times and NOTHING is getting rid of this smell. If they can make this in fragrance free (or even LESS fragrance) I would definitely buy again, but for now I’ll just go back to doing extra long soaks in fragrance free oxiclean.

Cannot go wrong with any Vanish product. I had a slight black mark on my top and this got it out. I used a small amount of this on my white bed sets to try to get out if the dull look and they seem brighter.

Really easy to use just use a capful so all measured out for you. When pouring the gel it doesnt leave any mess and any left overs in the cap goes back into the bottle as sits in there when done up. I like how you can see how much product it left and the plastic can be recycled.

The bottle is shaped so there is a slight gripped area but I just picked up it without using it. If you did struggle to grip smooth bottles this is a good idea. The smell of the product is really nice and no reactions on skin.

I dont think the bottle will last long using a capful a time however it gets the stains removed so worth it.

First time using the gel. And it’s been brilliant with 2 little ones get alot of hard stains. Just put a little bit of the gel on leave it for am hour and then put in the wash and cokes out completely gone.

Used it on grass stains, coffee and ink.

Used this after washing the whites, I thought they looked clean till I washed them again with the vanish, my whites look new again! Just smells fresh, no strong perfume smell. A little goes a long way so a bottle lasts ages.

No effect on my sensitive skin either which is always a bonus !.
