| Lift Grease removal? Anyone one got any ways to get lift grease out of your ski clothes? I got some lift grease on my pants while skiing at The cat in October. I tries, Tide, Simple green, Shout and I can't get it out. Any suggestions? |

 | i've had some run ins with the bobcat chair. dirty ole' riblet needs a lot of grease to turn. i got some grease from the bobcat before. one of my friends had a jacket REALLY greased up. she talked to management at the cat and they paid for the cleaning bill so it could be taken to a professional. damn, i wonder just how many people have this happen to them at the cat!?!?!? i have never heard of it happening any where else.

| Go to the hardware store and get some lacquer thinner. Apply a little to to a hidden area to make sure it won't fade the color (this has never happened to me) Then apply liberally to the area in question. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed.

| btw, it helps to lean forward on known greasers. the grease usually falls onto the back of the chair, usually the center one from what i have noticed there.

| I've seen the grease showers at many other resorts other than Wildcat...happens alot at Hunter too. Stuff is a real pain to get off; I always resist bringing waterproof garments to a dry cleaner; the chemicals just are not good for those types of textiles. |

| I'll try a few of your suggestions but will probably do as ctenidae suggested. Besides it will remind me of the best opening day that the East Coast has ever had. |

| I'm always getting grease on my work attire from one particular piece of machinery I work with. Stuff is darn near impossible to get out with ordinary cleaners. I haven't tried the laquer thinner, but have found some of the citrus-based cleaners will remove the majority of the mess. I like the "badge of honor". We're all "well decorated" soldiers where I work. Smitty
