Dear Bobby,
I often eat at my computer table. I have house shirts I wear at home and other shirts I wear outside.

I had a roommate years ago who used to ask me to get grease stains out of her t-shirts.

First I would rub liquid laundry detergent into the stain, scrub a little with my hand, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then I would rinse with water and do it again.
Next I would put it through the washing machine with the regular clothes and hang it up to dry immediately without sending it through the drier. Then when it was dry, I would check to see if the spot was still there. Sometimes I would send it through the washing machine with almost double the usual soap.

Often I had to do it again. Most of the time I was successful doing this once or twice.
