Carry a set of coveralls....? Might look dorky to some for the period you have them on, if anyone even notices, but you will look better than the guy with the grease stain beside the tie....imho

Sorry, should have read the post better. To avoid the stains, see above post.

To get the stains out, that is out of my league....

I scrub laundry detergent directly into the stain with a toothbrush.

Dish soap and shampoo will both cut stubborn grease but for god’s sake don’t put them in the washing machine. Not important how I know that.

The best thing I have ever used is this stuff Lestoil, full strength on the stain and use a toothbrush and scrub, it stinks but when washed the smell is gone.

Take it to a good dry cleaner. I’ve had shirts I’ve been going to throw in the trash and my guy made them good as new. The chemicals they use will probably give me skin cancer but damn to my shirts look good.

Get your company to hire groundstaff. Or don't care about the stains.

I had similar trouble at a 704 operator from loading bags and dirty door seals and putting engine plugs on. I wore my stains with pride after all my company issued shirts had one. Part of the job I'd say.
