How do you remove grease from jerseys?

Got some chain grease spots on my white jersey and it's annoying the heck out of me. It won't come out in the regular wash, won't even come out hand wash. What elixirs can I use to attack these stubborn stains...?

I use Fast Orange hand cleaner on my tough grease stains. Just put it on the dry jersey, work it in real good, then rinse well. Usually works for me. You could try other grease-oriented hand cleansers too, like Goop, Boraxo, or even a good dish detergent.

peace,
sam

Don't know if it will work on a jersey, but when I get chain grease on my leg I've found that shampoo gets it off easily. Might be worth a try.

Simple Green. Spray some on there and scrub, the grease will disappear. Then wash.
