Cleaning question

Hoping this is the right thread. I got a bit enthusiastic cleaning my 686 after the range today and I got CLP and gun oil all over one of my more liked shirts. Didn't notice until I was done the revolver. Is shout/oxyclean good to get it off or do you recommend something else?

Oil and/or grease I'd try pretreating with dish soap (Dawn or equivalent) if that doesn't get it try Goop (waterless hand cleaner).

It'll probably take a few tries.

Better to have a gun cleaning shirt. ;)

what he said. Whatever you do, to not put it in the dryer until you are sure it is clean. That will set it FOREVER.

Oil eater? Stuff sold by granger and tractor supply works great for getting grease out of clothes

Looks like the dish soap worked!

Dawn was part two a "secret" cleaning process at one place i worked. Part one was kero.
