Getting sheets clean...

I am still looking for better solutions for getting oil completely out of my sheets. I have all kinds of sheets and I use high quality oils, but still have an issue with my sheets eventually smelling rancid. I have tried Clean Again and soaking them in Dawn (which by far worked the best but Dawn is not good in the washing machine). I have tried every good detergent to no avail. I use oils that say it will not stain sheets and washes out of the sheets. What works for you?

Laura Allen posted previously that adding some vinegar to the wash removes the stains, smell, and does not leave a vinegar smell. I use "Squeaky Green" by Method. I have yet to have any issues with it, but I also use 100% organic, unrefined Jojoba.

I have been using Amway SA8 in hot water that seems to remove stains, oils and has no odor.
