Grease on new polyester/wool jacket

I have a new jacket made of 55% polyester and 45% wool. It is labelled dry clean only. I have got a 50p sized mark plus smaller marks on the lower front from a greasy source, probably butter. Any advice apart from dry clean?

    I'm pretty sure that some of the links in the Cleaning section section of the MEGA Index sticky (listed under clothes) will help. If they don't, there are a few other thtreads about - so just shout and we'll try again. The quick link is here:-

    CLEANING

    Everything from the bath, through clothes, to worktops. The list is organised alphabetically by what item you want to clean, and then various er, substances, that you'd like to remove are listed by thread title.

    I would dab Oil of Eucalyptus on it ( available in chemists) You`ll recognise the smell! I have used this successfully to remove lots of stains particularly grease and it doesnt entrench the stain so you have nothing to lose.
