How can I get the oil stains out of my sheets?

I'm a MT student with light blue sheets for in and out of class work. I'm using a variety of products, i.e. Hoba Oil, Biotone Gel & Face Cream, Peppermint Pandango, and etc. and after ten weeks of too much oil being used and eventually dripped on them I can't seem to get the oil stains out. Thankfully they don't smell rancid but they look dirty. I've tried pretreating with a myriad of detergents and shout, bleach, and extended washes but I still have these lovely stains. Can someone please help!

In the interm I've purchased a white fitted and a black top sheet for in-class work. They seem to hide the stains better than the calming light blue ones.

    Hi Pamela!
    First, stay away from pastel colored (especially blue) sheets.
    Always wash them immediately after use with HOT water.
    I also agree with all the comments the colleagues have mentioned previously!

    Good Luck in class. Much Success!

    I cup of vinegar in the wash works great and it's cheap! Doesn't leave any smell, either.
