How to remove olive oil stains from cotton/wool cloths?

Question

I think any cook have came across these nasty stains. What is the best home method of removing them from cotton/wool cloths? I know that the best method is to act proactive and wear protective clothing, but this has happened by accident after the meal was ready.

Thanks!

Answer

A surprisingly good way to remove oil stains (even that have set in and gone through the dryer) is using dish soap. Rub it in, let it sit for a bit, and then wash it out.
