I have gotten grease out of jerseys quite easily with nothing but tide and cold water. Never use hot water on your kit, it ruins the wicking ability (read that in a Q&A with cycling clothing engineers) and silicone grippers.
Just rub a high quality detergent (I use tide) directly on to the stain (try not apply too much pressure, you can don't want to damage). Then, add a teaspoon of detergent to a large plastic tub or sink full of water and throw it in. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then gently agitate the jersey with your hands, particularly the stained area, you might have to gently rub it for a little while (jeez that sounds bad) to free the grease from the fabric. Always works for me, and has never caused discoloration or any other undesired results.
