Or. perhaps, wear a poonal made of artificial fibres (nylon, polyester etc.) so that they wouldn't absorb oil, and oil stains can easily be washed away with soap! This suggestion may look blasphemous, I can see, but, the way the poonals are actually made/obtained nowadays by the present generation Vaadhyars, contrary to the correct procedure by which poonals are supposed to be made ready, starting from spinning the yarn from cotton using takli and all that, my suggestion is NOT all that blasphemous, after all!
