cleaning jerseys

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

Cheers,
Amir.

i have tried pre-wash stain removers but they hardly remove the mark at all. Any home tried and tested methods around?

try some citrus degreaser, like the stuff you get for your chain, its a 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.
