I tossed a shirt that got diff fluid from the FD on it. It didn’t directly smell - no one else I asked could ever smell it - but every once in a while when I was working, I’d catch a nasty whiff of gear oil. This was after at least 5 washes.
I think you can pick up like a 10 pack of white/black haynes Ts at walmart for like $20. Or just say fuck it, work shirts are made to be nasty.

This sounds like a sexual orientation problem if you ask me. Less male/male butt secks clearly the answer.

Get new shirts and stop eating mighty.
I dunno, maybe try tossing a cup of bleach in with them when you wash them.

this happened to me chronically when i got tranny fluid on a shirt of mine.
i washed it in the washer and the oil got all over the washing machine and ALL my clothes smelled like tranny fluid for a while. Nobody noticed but I was always paranoid about it

Not sure if it’ll work for this problem, but have you ever left stuff in the washer too long, and they smell musty / moldy? Re-washing them won’t get rid of it. Drying them and rewashing them still does nothing.
Solution? Wash again with some detergent AND vinegar in the washer (maybe a cup or 2). Smells pretty again.

wash seperately with oxi clean and a little bit of vinegar, then put it in the dryer alone with a bunch of dryer sheets.

Goo Gone gets oil/grease out, but then you need to wash it again to get rid of the Goo Gone smell (orange/chemical-y).
