Oil stains on a cotton henley

To Need a Woman

I got an cooking oil spatter on a navy cotton henley of mine a few months ago. Looks terrible. The dry cleaners told me that because of the material its made of(as stated on the label), that it can't be dry cleaned. I was tempted to chance away and dry-clean it anyway, but I said wouldn't. Surely there must be something else I can do. I heard someone say WD40 would work but I don't know! Although it has been quite a few months now..

Any help would be great

I find rubbing the stain with handsoap often works, even on an old stain. Damped the area where the stain is. Rub liquid hand soap (the kind you have in the bathroom) on both sides of the stain. Then was as per instruction. YOu may have to do this a few times.

I get the impression that would leave a dreadful water mark. And you've tried this on cotton?

I used this on cotton and had no problem. What are the washing instruction for the item though?
