Goop Rocks!

Goop (you know, the hand cleaning goo that you use when you're painting?) is a remarkably effective grease stain remover. It doesn't matter how old the stain is or how thoroughly it has bonded to the fabric--just massage some Goop into the affected garment, let sit about 15 minutes, and throw into the wash. Last week, I used Goop to remove a year-old stain from a washable silk sweater.

I especially like this Goop thing because it follows the old "like dissolves like" rule from high school chemistry.
