My son left his tube of Carmex in his jeans pocket and ruined a load of his clothes. Most hit were the t-shirts, some of which he didn't want to trash yet.

Kim, if you have already dried these items in the dryer, there's really not much you can do. (Heat will set the stain). If not, put a couple drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid on each spot, scrub a little and then wash as normal. Dawn is excellent in getting out oil/grease stains. Good Luck!
My AMAZING trick for any grease type stain is LESTOIL even if its been washed and dried. Its a miracle worker. My grandmother used it on pjs with bacon grease splattered all over the top that had already been washed and dried.
I tried dawn when I spilt liquid Carmex from a hot car. the Dawn did absolutley no good after half an hour of careful scrubbing.
I scrubbed my clothing with Dawn liquid detergent for 1/2 hour after I spilt hot liquid Carmex on them. (I left the Carmex in my car on a very hot day.) The Dawn did absolutely no good.
Thank you I will try this. Today in gym someone decided to smear carmax all over a racket and it got on my Jean's. I really hope this helps.
This is expensive, but dry cleaning solution might get it out. I've had a nice cotton tee-shirt dry cleaned and the spot was removed. Some dry cleaners have bulk loads for a set price.
Try using hydrogen peroxide as a prewash. If you have washed and dried already, let the peroxide soak for about 15 minutes. If that fails use a product called Awesome from the 99 cent store.
If you can find it, Lestoil is THE best grease and ring around the collar remover I have ever found. Granted, as Marnita says you may be out of luck, since you already dried the items. Do the tees have logos etc.
There is a degreaser called Greased Lightning you can use it for cleaning or it can be used on laundry to remove grease stains. You might want to give it a try.
Just removed Carmex from my Cashmere sweater with Dawn and cold water.Thank you!
This has happened to me a couple of times. The 1st time I finally had to take them to the Dry Cleaner. The second time I found this product called Zout Tripple Enzyme Foam. I worked! Use Zout!
Okay, I joined this website to thank everyone above for all your help. I went out on a limb and tried something alittle diffrent. I soaked the clothes in Dish Detergent (Not even Dawn it was Joy) and bought Oxi Clean Max Force. I couldn't even see the stains because the shirts were all wet, so I just randomly sprayed.
I am using OXI CLEAN.
I filled a tub of water with Dawn Dish detergent and water. Let soak overnight night. Ring out each individual piece and take a couple of pieces at a time and fill washing machine back to the original wash line. Then place the washing machine on rinse cycle and rinse and spin as many times as you feel comfortable doing so. Let hang dry. Do not put in dryer!!!!!!
