Remove Grease & Oil Stains:
For grease or oil, the Sugar Paste will probably work the best for you, and in addition you won't have to scrub your carpet!!
Try Sugar Paste: Sugar Paste, made of sugar and water, and allowed to sit for one hour, then blot with a damp cloth. This will usually remove anything!!
If sugar paste doesn't work, or you'd rather try something else: One cup of Tide with two cups of White Vinegar. Blot the stain well with this solution, blot with a damp cloth and then blot with solution again, this continuious cycle will allow the oil to be pulled out over a few hours, depending on how much oil was spilled.
Hope this helps.
Rent a "Stanley Steemer" carpet cleaner.
Try some Dawn dishsoap on the soiled area to remove the oil. All you'll need is a drop or two depending on how big the spot is. Use a clean washcloth and some warm water rub in the soap thoroughly using the washcloth until it suds up some. Then rinse the washcloth and the treated area. You might need to repeat the washing and rinsing a couple of times depending on how much was spilled, but the dawn dishsoap will remove the oil. Then once the spot is gone, you can shampoo the carpet with regular carpet shampoo and don't forget to rinse it. Also if at all possible prevent anyone from walking on the spot until it is cleaned and dry, otherwise you're risking the oil being spread throughout your carpet. Hope this helps, good luck!
