Does the ruling on purifying hands by removing impurity with pure water, even if grease is present on them, apply to clothes and other items when bodily grease and impurity are present on them? And is every grease or secretion that the person did not cause to be present and originated from the body purified when water is used to remove the impurity while the grease or secretion remains?

If impurity affects oil on a garment, it becomes impure and cannot be purified except by pouring water over it until the impurity itself is removed. One must be careful of obsessive doubts () and ignore them. Nothing is ruled impure except with absolute certainty.
