How do you get car oil out of cloth?

I had put my babys stroller in the trunk of my car and did not know my husband put the oil drainer in the trunk!!! So now i have oil on the cloth helo how do I get it off?How do you get car oil out of cloth?
i found the best way to get oil out of any fabric is scrubbing the area with joy dish soap. I'd use an old tooth brush or any good scrubber for the job. Make sure you always do this BEFORE throwing anything into a washing machine. It seems like it sets if you wash it first. Good luck with getting the stain out!How do you get car oil out of cloth?
Hopefully you can remove it to clean it. Wipe off the most of the oil with paper toweling and discard. Then use PINE SOL, not a look a like. Scrub it in, then wash in warm water with detergent with some more pine sol added. It has removed so much stuff for me over the years...my mom swore by it when my dad worked for Boeing. For smaller areas, I have used the orange goopy hand cleaner, scrubbing it in with a brush, then washing as usual. DO NOT put in dryer. Re wash until it is all removed. Dry with great care, and remove when slightly damp put back on stroller to completely finish drying....could shrink and not fit stroller any more.
try adding 2 cups of vinegar to your washload when washing the item see if the vinegar will get the oil out remember to add your laundry detergent as well.
