would like to know more about how this was done--dry cleaner would not elaborate--i have a strong background in chemistry



got grease stain oncotton spandex tee shirt--grease was not silicone based



as usual i used oven cleaner to turn the grease into soap--it took out the grease but not the stain ( stainwas green)



dry cleaner removed it



what do you think his approach was?



any sites that address spot removal is apppreciated--i could not find any
