    The best suggestion I have is dishwashing liquid. Try hand scrubbing them with it, then putting them in the machine.
    Worked when DD1 got motor oil all over her Billabong jumper.

    What dishwashing liquid do you use? Try one of the concentrated ones. It might take a few washes but it will get it out I promise! Or what Tinks said. The only thing is often with oil stains you need to bring them back out again with more oil. Lucy (not Lulu ) started using oil spray and dishwashing liquid, my trick was WD40 and dishwashing liquid to get oily stains out. But the oil spray doesn't smell as bad as WD40 and works the same. you would literally need to drench the entire article in dishwashing liquid though once the stain is freshened and then wash as usual.

    I get cooking oil on me daily at work. I bought a bottle of degreaser from the laundry section of the supermarket which works really well on my work uniform. I think it's Napisan brand from memory, I'm too lazy to go into the laundry to look

    It was just a normal one Rouge... Palmolive I think.
    Should I just keep washing? I was a bit worried I might be making it worse LOL!

    As random as this might sound maybe try soaking in vinegar and bicarb soda then machine wash?? I know this worked for me

    Try the sard stuff, if that doesn't work I'll walk you through my degreaser trick. I've even got lipgloss out with it.

    I was going to suggest rubbing the oil patch in talc and brushing it out - would have been easier before it was washed though

    Can you try washing it with just bicarb? Might help cut through the oil?
