Default Help! - Miracle Cure for Grease Stains!

Anyone know of anyway I can get grease out of a pair of trousers? Washed them four times and no luck! Wouldn't be so bad if they were jeans but they are white!
Any ideas?

Thank you

Take them to a decent dry-cleaners. I got a kebab grease stain down the front of a brand new expensive shirt once, of course I was too pissed at the time to think about pre-soaking it etc so it was still there after I washed it.

Not sure what they used but the dry cleaners got it out easily, and it was as good as new afterwards.

They say to cover the stain with talc powder for about 24 hours.....prior to washing, so I think you may be out of luck with that one....

i was told once if you put a paper bag over the stain then iron over it it will draw the grease out onto the bag but dont take my word for it

As above, I'd say get them dry cleaned.

Probably worth mentioning the grease stain to them when you take the trousers in, so they can make sure they get it sorted for you.
