Question:

How do you get grease stains out of a table cloth that is 100% polyester?

I noticed the stains after I washed it dried it in the dryer.

Answer:

I know this sounds weird. Dawn dish soap. Best to use the blue colored Dawn. Soak the stain with the soap, rub in in good, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, wash following fabric directions. The dish soap works because it cuts grease. It's magic! ; )
You may have already set the stain in by drying it in the dryer. You can still try some Dawn dish liquid, applied directly to the stains.)
Rub undiluted dish washing liquid into the stain. Allow that to sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Then launder as usual. Repeat if necessary. It doesn't matter which brand you use, as long as it's a good name brand. Most people recommend Dawn, but I've found other brands work just as well.Ajax, Palmolive, Joy, etc. Do not machine dry the table cloth again until the oil is gone. Machine drying sets stains. Dish washing liquid is specifically formulated to break down oils. It will break down the stain and allow the washer to wash them away. -
