First, to better combat grease stains, it helps to understand what they are.
Grease stains come from oily organic or inorganic materials consisting primarily of fatty compounds or petroleum, respectively.
The most common types are derived from vegetable oil, dairy and animal fats, and industrial lubricants.
They're semi-solid at room temperature, becoming liquid at higher temperatures.
Most greases are pale or golden yellow in color, but they can become brown with age or in high concentrations.
Also, terms like grease and greasy are often colloquially applied to other potential stain sources like body oils, sweat, or products like hair grease.
