Posted this laundry tip a while back.

I cracked open a can of smoked clams in oil and spilled some on a poly blend shirt I had on.

I got two nice stains outta the deal and went home and tried everything to get them out. I even tried Dawn dishwashing liquid on it to pretreat the stain.

Nothing worked until I picked up two cans of the lanolin hand wash stuff at an autoparts store. I can't remember if it said it could be used on soiled clothing-but I rubbed some on these two stains, tossed it into the wash and pulled it out and both stains were gone.

Now I keep a can by the laundry soap and don't freak out when I spill on clothing that is a blend of materials.
