cleaning jerseys

does anyone know how to totally remove grease from a jersey?. i have
tried pre-wash stain removers but they hardly remove the mark at all.
Any home tried and tested methods around?

Haven't tried yet, but I would use some kerosene locally which woul
dissolve the grease. Once the stain is removed, I'd wash with suds a
usual to remove the kerosen trace. I don't expect kerosene to harm th
printings on the jersey, but as I said, I haven't tried yet

try some citrus degreaser, like the stuff you get for your chain, its
bit more gentle than kero, and smells alot better ...

It's never caused problems here. I just use it as a wash rather than for soaking.
