when Scott and I were carrying the bikes up and down the steep stairs in  Nice, I got grease on my shorts and new long sleeve shirt.  I tried washing them out with soap but it didn’t help.  Does anyone have a recommendation of what else I might try?

Try rubbing the affected area with liquid laundry soap.

If laundry liquid is not available dish washing liquid may work.

If available, possibly Dawn dish detergent or Dawn Power Wash. Dawn really is a great grease remover.

thanks for the suggestion.  I will be in apartment with laundry facilities soon and will try it out.

thanks for the suggestion.  I’ll see if I can find some and try it out.

This will require a hand washing of the affected areas. Get the grease area slightly damp, use anything soap-like, shampoo, hand washing soap, dish detergent, laundry soap, and rub that into the grease (inside AND outside the garment) and let it sit for a bit. Hot water is going to be your friend here, too. If one thing doesn't work, try another. If your place has a little brush for dishes or handwashing, you can employ that too, gently but firmly. And for bike grease hands and leg tattoos, I've found that those little 'Wet Ones' towelettes work amazingly well to get that crap off. I have a packet of those in with the tire changing tools.

no, but thanks for reminding me of one more reason I hated that place.  Which reminds me - I still haven't left a review on AirBnB yet.

Totally awesome.  Thanks!
