No, Just kidding! But Im serious about this one. Mommy is guilty of this as my children always end up with grease stains on their clothes and I have no idea how to get these things out. I use tide and it is supposed to be pretty powerful but it doesnt always work and I end up throwing them in the wash two, even three times in a row. Its not that I do not use bibs entirely, my kids are 2 (in Aug) and 3 1/2, at home they always use them and they are the bigger kind that comes down to their waste but that doesnt alway work now that their older when my youngest trys to throw her bib off when she's done. But the problem is when were out and were running chores and I think were gonna make it home for lunch but that rarely happens that way and Ill grab a sandwich from McDonalds for them and Im driving so I hope for the best. I don't want to be doing things perfect all the time, thats just not me, I don't like spending alot of time scrubbing their clothes and I cant because I live at an apartment where I only do wash once a week--I know theres gotta be people good with stains out there, how do you do it?? Does cooking oil come out of clothes?

My youngest is 12 and he's still a greaseball lol. I use Shout on his clothes, if worse comes to worse I'll rub a little Dawn dishwashing liquid on the spot. If that doesn't work, I just resign myself to a new dust rag. Good luck.

Do you use spray or the kind you rub on the stain?

I use the spray, but I would think the stuff you can rub on and leave the clothes in the hamper until your ready to wash would good.
