How to get safflower oil out of bed sheets?

I tried using safflower oil on my legs as a moisturizer for a week after reading an article (on Yahoo!) and I loved the results but after I washed and dried my sheets, the oil had seemed to bake in and the sheets were heavy and waxy feeling. So I threw them in the washer again on the hottest temperature with extra soap. Still waxy. Then I got out my heavy duty Clorox 2 powder detergent and put a healthy dose in there with the hot water, still waxy but not quite as bad. Is there any way to save these sheets? It was my favorite set.

I should think after all those washes, you have thoroughly set the oil. Maybe you could try a pre-wash stain remover, and let it soak in for a while, or try soaking them in ammonia, then washing in cold wash.
