It is best removed as far as possible while still wet.After scraping most of it off with a knife or similar taking care not to spread the stain, it needs diluting with a solvent and mopping with clean absorbent material while stretched over a hard surface until it has mostly gone and then sponging with a strong detergent or a mix of detergent and solvent.
The trouble is the solvent will attack many manmade fibres.
An alternative is to leave it alone to dry thoroughly into a hard spot. Thoroughly cured it becomes a hard and brittle cake that can be broken up into dust with some gentle tapping with a hammer over a hard surface. More will fall clear over time every time the fabric is flexed.
Allbrands does not recommend gel detergents Gels typically contain bleach - primarily chlorine bleach - which causes rubber seals to break down and leak.
Gels often leave a whitish or cloudy film on glassware.
Gels tend to stick to the inside surface of the dishwasher, never really being rinsed off.
Gels are intentionally thick so that they stick inside the soap cup and don't run immediately into the bottom of the dishwasher. Therefore, they leave a sticky residue inside the soap dispenser, actually cause it to clog and not open during the timed sequence.
Gels are not effective in hard water - and almost always leave spots.
THE stains on your clothing especially on whites are most likely due to a top seal failure on your transmission. transmission leaking oil. if the clothing affected or the stain can be removed with a solvent like gas, kerosene, paint thinner repair on washer will exed the value .... if the streaks or stains can be removed with a water soluble detergent then the stains are caused by the soap and or hard water deposits in your washer . then the solution to cut way down on soap usage in your washer and or running an acid wash (soap is alkaline acid will dissolve it . make sure not to over solvent your clothes and to rinse all solvents out completely . be careful !!!! a solvent soaked t-shirt bunched up and left in tightly sealed plastic bag WILL CATCH ON FIRE!!!!

If detergent and scrubbing is not working try a solvent ... but if that does work directly on the stain go the next step and create a poultice by saturating an absorptive material (such as kitty litter or sawdust) with a strong solvent (acetone, xylene, lacquer thinner, or MEK) and then smearing the material over the stain. Cover the poultice with plastic, and let the process of osmosis take over. The solvent will break down the oil, and the absorptive material will suck it out of the concrete. Part of the challenge with oil related stains in concrete is that the material has migrated below the surface into the concrete. The poultice process does takes time and may not be cost-effective or practical for removing large stains.
Spots on clothing in a washer are usually caused by a reaction between detergent and fabric softeners, but to check and see if these spots are petroleum based (oil), try removing the spots with solvent. If the spots will come out with solvent, but not with soap and water, then it could be transmission oil that is leaking into the tub and this is very bad news. This was a common problem on the older GE and Hotpoint washers. Sorry to hear about the problem that you are having and I hope this helped. Best wishes.
