I've got a pair of light tan slacks that had an auto grease stain on them. They had been sitting on the bottom of my closet floor for the past two years becuase I was too lazy to remove the stain and black pants are my favorite anyway. Actually wanted to give up on light-colored pants because they show up stains like that.
Anyways, I wanted them to wear with my brown blazers, brown pants being hard to find, so I looked online for some stain removal techniques. What was reccommended was way too much work, and would have cost money. But, a couple days prior I had the idea of using my Zippo fluid to remove the grease. All it took was a squirt of fluid and a little scrubbing with a soft kitchen cloth. I put them in the washer and the stain is gone with no damage to the fabric. In case you're wondering, the slacks are polyester.
