Answer: Start by treating the oily/waxy component of the stain with a pre-treater like Shout, Spray 'n' Wash or any stain remover. Then rub with heavy-duty liquid detergent or a paste made of powdered detergent and water. Scrub stain lightly and rinse in hot water. Next, wash in the hottest water suitable for the fabric using detergent and an all-fabric bleach to remove the dye in the stain.
