Trying to fix my exercise stepper I got oil on my plain biscuit colour carpet. I got most off with Fairy Washing Up Liquid and water, but there is a couple of marks that remain. What can I do?

Try a detergent that is specially formulated for breaking up grease - I find Zout works well.

Hello, Have you tried with baking powder? Take a tablespoon of baking powder add a small amount of tepid water to the powder& add this to the stain leave for 10 min´s or so, then with a sponge and cold water work your way inwards of the stain, like this you won´t spread the stain further. When you see the stain has been lifted wash the carpet with a little of your own hair shampoo, remove all the suds again with cold water and lay a towel with a heavy object on top . This will help to dry up any water from the underside of the carpet , leave over night like this .Use natural air to dry if you have a humidifier then this will help a lot. Hope this helps you

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.

Use white spirit liberally, then wash thoroughly with soapy water, finally rinse with fresh water and dry.
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 good for removing oil. Squirt some on and rub with a clean cloth.

I've used SPOT SHOT... my hubby brought oil in from the garage on his shoes & it pulled it rt up. I've used it for soo many things... clothes, removing spilled paint, pet marks.... I've used on the arm of the chairs when soiled from u'r hands/arms... it works. IT comes aresol or spray.
