cleaning engine oil from fabric or carpet

Toxic_Lemon

I saw some bitumen tar stuff removed from a carpet using stuff called Stainz-R-Out. It's banana based and I use it for all sorts. Apparently it even removes spray paint from surfaces!

With tar, you should blot it (prob too late now tho) and then apply a glycerine solution (50/50 glycerine and water). Then clean with a carpet cleaner.

Thanks for the replies.
Just to update - I rang my mum for some help too. She advised me to scrub it hard with butter/marg and then wash with hot soapy water. The result -clean carpet :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:

Maybe this will help someone else.

Will This Work On Toffee Marks?

I'm not sure TBH - she told me it worked by transferring the stain onto the butter. Its worth a try? You need to have hot soapy water (i used star drops) on hand to clean up the butter.

If you don't have any swarfega just try washing up liquid.

wd40 might work too, will certainly loosen it up

CLARABEL
