Oil Stain

    So after a disaster of a cycle today I ended up getting chain oil on my lovely yellow altura jacket. I check the label and it says only a 30c wash but I doubt that will shift the oil. Does anyone have any tips for something that will get rid of the oil stain (or as much as possible) without damaging the jacket?

    Hand wash it with soap and warm water and work over the affected area with your finger nails or something like a scrubbing brush. Had chain ring stain on a new pair of shorts and got most of it off using this method.

    Try some Wd 40 or degreaser if you have it, will dissolve the oil

    Dab off the stain with cloth dampened with white spirit then wash as recommended. It is usually recommended to re waterproof breathable rainwear after washing, one suitable product is Nikiwax
