The best thing you can do to completely remove the oil is, saturate it with petrol (gasoline if you're a yank) ignite a match or possible a lighter, either will be adequate. Then put the flame onto the oil stain. Hey Presto! it will soon be gone for ever.

Paperlady beat me to it!! Euclyptus Oil is excellent for removing oil, grease and tar from most fabrics. Have used it to remove tar on a cream carpet - lots of it! No sign of the tar whatsoever, and not detrimental to the carpet. Have used it numerous times on clothes for removing grease or oil. As suggested it is a powerful smell - clears your head for sure! Worth buying the small bottle from the chemist, dab on with cotton wool, let it react, then use more if necessary. If on clothes wash as normal. If on furniture or carpet, the smell does eventually go!

Eucalyptus oil, bought in a small bottle from the chemist. Gets the oil out but the smell is quite rank. Wash the item well afterwards! We use it when we get oil from the beach on our clothes or shoes.

Hi David! What I do is put some baby powder on the spot, then iron it, this will take the excess of grease from the pants, then soak them in water with liquid soap for about 40 minutes, you can scrub it a little bit, then.. to the washer.. that will do!
Take care!★

Use a lighter type of oil to 'lift' the stain ('WD40' usually works well), leave it for a while, and then wash with detergent.
Test the oil on a hidden bit of the cloth first, so you know it won't remove the dye.

This might sound really corny but try dish washing liquid! Where I come from in Africa you don't get such luxuries as stain remover, our cheap dish washing liquid worked wonders, so try the lemon dishwashing liquids, damp the staines in warm water a drizzer of soap, hand wash whiles dipping occassionally in warm water...

I would assume dry cleaning the article would get the oil out, as they use powerful solvents, and not water based chemicals.I heard somewhere that if water gets on to the item it "fixes" the oil into the fibres ,and it would be impossible to get it out.

you need to break the oil. Any hand wash soap should do it rub it into the material and leave it for a few minutes and then let them soak in hot water repeat if needed

cut a piece from a none visible area and place it over the stain, then place a dab of superglue to so the patch stays in place. You, could always dip the stain in a bowl of vinegar and water and leave it over night, sure, it will rid of the stain after you washed it out in a washing machine a 90 c.
Hope it helps
