Pissing off Christie Blatchford since 2011

For fabric that can be washed in a washing machine, rub a generous dollop of liquid dish soap deeply into the greasy stain of the fabric, and run the item through your normal wash cycle. You may need more than one go to get all of it. For wool, um. I mean: it will work, but your blankie may be a bit smaller than before. Also, it should, in theory, work on the fabric of the couch, but how the dickens you are going to sluice off the soapy residue, I don't know.
