(OT) How to remove Mineral Oil from clothing

Yesterday I had the vet out for a horse who is having trouble pooping. He gave it mineral oil and left me a jug of it to give the horse today. The horse looks better but the vet said to give the oil anyhow. I just did it, and since the horse kept tossing his head, my clothing is soaked with it. (It's a good thing I wore an old coat).



Anyhow, will this come out with just normal washing and detergent, or do I need to do something else. Should I use HOT water (I usually use cold)? Is this gonna leave a oily mess in my washing machine? (If so, I'll take the clothes to a laundromat)....



I did wipe off the real oily part of the coat with a paper towel as soon as I got indoors. This sure was a messy ordeal . . . I was supposed to give the horse 16 oz (a pint), but I ended up giving it two extra ounces, because I know I'm wearing at least that much, or it went on the ground.



Thanks



Obviously you were pouring the oil into the wrong end of the horse.
