An alternative would be to spot-clean with a degreasing agent, then soak the cloth in cold water to remove the residue.
Actually, I was wondering about the old process of using Fuller's Earth to soak the oil out of the fabric and then washing. An old technique but possibly more effective and gentle. What were the old techniques that my dad would have employed...dab it out with Carbonna or a rag with some gasoline on it? Yeah...right...like I'm gonna do that.
