I'm going to get in trouble for this but did you try in the washing machine with ½ cup of DAWN® dishwash soap?

I would try it with some Dawn, but somewhere you can contain the wash off (maybe for the environment, but maybe more so that your pipes don't get full of motor oil?). Dawn is created to break down oils, and perhaps surprisingly it does a wonderful job at motor oil as well. Tip: you ever have an oil spot on your concrete. Try Dawn before you buy a commercial cleaner that is likely to just bleach it out anyway :D.

OMG I seriously would not try that in your washing machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:shock:

You need to soak it with dawn (as said) but you should do it in a big bucket or something.

You also might need to rinse and repeat a few times.

....OR....just buy a new bag!
