I've been getting these stain on my clothes for over a year now that
wont come out. Usually oil stains come out with pre-treating and a
wash or two. But this is some sort of mutant oil. And I've tried
everything on these through 10-25 washes. So somebody said Pine-Sol
(or maybe that was me). Well, Pine-Sol doesn't have pine oil in it
anymore, and I can't get to Lowe's to buy the Pinealin.

Next best thing is turpentine. Well, I don't have that either.
Strike 2. OK, Mineral spirits? Strike thr....Wait, but I have
charcoal lighter fluid! And it's "South Coast Air Quality
Management Board"-certified (it's one of those "California is better
than the rest of the world" laws) since its more refined. THAT I
already have. So I sqwerted it on a few my worst "house" t-shirts
and voila! All the stains are gone after one wash! Yay!

Now the million $ question is.... after three washes, how the ****
do I get the lighter fluid smell out? It's bottom of the ninth,
with the winning run on 3rd, 0-2...
