Look online at solvent based cleaners, you don't want to be soaking it with water and detergent.
Sideways yo!

WD40 is suprisingly good at removing oil and grease from carpets and fabric, we use it at work for oily footprints on customers carpets, i find it works best if use you can 'dab' the stain away  :smiley:

I have used Swan lighter fluid, the stuff you would put in a zippo. Its pretty good on oily, grease marks.
The Mrs got some all over our suede head board (don't ask  :laugh:) and she was having a mare about it. Gave it a dab with the fluid and patted it off to dry it. No marks at all.
Bye Bye Edition 30.
