The Logic Verdict

Dish Soap. Laundry detergent isn’t strong enough for pure oil.

The Science

Polyester is oil-based plastic. It bonds with grease. Dish soap cuts the bond.

Step-by-Step Removal

  1. Apply Dry: Rub dish soap (Dawn is best) directly onto the dry stain. Do not wet it first.
  2. Wait: Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse: Rinse with hot water.
  4. Wash: Launder as normal.
