This is the best stuff to get grease spots off of your clothes or whatever. Sometimes a bad stain takes two try’s, but it will remove the stain. It does have a strong smell, but you do not smell it on your clothes after they have been washed.

As a child, I remember my mother always kept a bottle of Lestoil by the utility sink in the basement. I don’t know what she used it for, but I always associated it with a big mess and a lot of yelling. As a teen, I discovered the ease with which Lestoil removed engine grease from auto parts, my clothes and skin. And as a young adult entering the workforce, I used it to remove an ink stain from a pen that had burst in the pocket of one of my favorite white dress shirts. The stain was only a couple of hours old, but all it took to completely eradicate it was treating it with a little Lestoil, rinsing, then laundering it with Tide. The stuff was magic – I remember visualizing how it went to work chopping up the bits of ink and carrying them away and there was absolutely no trace of ink left by the time the shirt was washed. Sure it smelt a little bit like kerosene and dried your skin out, but what a small price to pay for the items it saved and the ease with which it worked.Then it disappeared for some reason. In found myself periodically confronted with a cleaning chore that the cleaners currently available handled poorly and wishing for a bottle of Lestoil to make it easier. The company was bought out by the Clorox Company and Lestoil is currently only produced for Walmart stores in Puerto Rico, for some reason.I snatched a bottle immediately when an Amazon search turned up a result and eagerly awaited it. I can’t say for sure of the formula is the same or if Clorox has tampered with it – the smell is pretty much the same, perhaps a bit milder and I did not have exactly the same success with several items, although it performed better than any currently in my arsenal of cleaning products. I first treated a raw wood table with several stains from oil-based paint that have had ample time to set and cure. After letting it sit on the stains full-strength for ten minutes, I was able to remove the paint with nothing more than a wet sponge.Then I used it to soak some vinyl mini blinds with oil paint splatters diluted and let the blinds sit in the diluted solution overnight. I would say about 75 percent of the paint was automatically gone by morning. About half od what was left easily sponged off. I don’t know for sure if the rest would have come off easily with a brush and some hot water but I was in too much of a hurry.So I am happy with this purchase and it is as good as I’m going to find now, but I plan on keeping a bottle on hand at all times, because nothing cuts through ink, grease, paint and other nightmares better or more safely.

This product has the absolute worst smell ever, but it will most certainly get any stain out! I have used it on blood stains, oil and sweat stains. It definitely works!!

Listoil was recommended for cleaning capabilities, especially with grease in clothes. I bought it for that purpose, but when I got it, I realized it’s just like Pine-Sol. So I did a little research, and yes, indeed… So while it is very effective, and it did its job, I think I could’ve saved a lot of money by buying a really big bottle of Pine-Sol.

I bought this after seeing a few people post about how it gets grease stains out of clothing. It really works! I bought a new shirt, and of course, got grease on it while cooking dinner. I even washed and dried it before realizing the stain was there. I dabbed Lestoil on the spot with a paper towel and immediately washed it, and the stain is gone. This stuff really works!
