I spilled oil-based dark brown gloss paint on a white/pink silk bed cover. What a mess, I really thought it was ruined. Then I used the above method and there was not the slightest sign of a stain.
Also a friend of mine, who is a sports masseur, is always splashing carpets etc with his pongy oils and he cleans up this way.
Dawn dish soap is great to use for removing grease spots. Put some on a damp cloth, rub into the spot, let set a little bit, then continue to rub the area until the grease is gone. Then using a damp cloth, rinse the soap up from the carpet.
