The sentence that I highlighted in RED generally means that there is nothing that will work,
Goose cooked. However I slept at my home and got a good night's sleep, so ... my Mom used
to get some truly difficult stains out by doing the following;
- As the stain is now 'set' you need to re-activate the source material (Chain Lube), so,
put a few drops of lube on the stains and allow them to soak in.
- Get some Fels-Naptha (

Rinse and repete as necessary.

Next time either protect your trouser leg or pre-treat BEFORE washing.
