What a plonker. The other day I was destractedly removing the old candle from my smelly oil burner, and knocked the whole shooting match on the bloody floor.  Oil is dark brown, carpet is pale blue - aarrgghh - suggestions to remove said oil would be appreciated.  I tried Mr. Muscle (as this removes grease from most anything else) but am still left with a nice large oil stain.  Of course, it didn't just go in the one spot - it was spread over about 8 inches - damn!  Help please - carpet is only a few months old........:(

You could try fairy liquid,also i think stain devil do one available from supermarkets.

Good luck,       Sheila.

Thanks Sheila - I have a "grease" stain devil - I'll give it a go now - don't know why I didn't think of it......doh!

DiDi- seven

Thanks Kay, but it's something I don't actually have.   I thought it was only available by mail order....

Oh sorry, to be honest, have had this little tube forever, cant remember where I got it from, but it is brilliant for oily marks and spills

Think I have seen it in Woolworths before now.
HTH

(edited as found a UK site!!!! LOL )

Have been racking brains on where I bought this.  A sunday market in the pound baskets!!!! bought a few really small tubes, but last for ever and I prefer it for soaking voils to machine washing.  Brilliant for removing indian takeaway splodges ;) )))

Thanks ppl - will check Woolies.  Delighted it can remove curry stains - most of my t-shirts have them, thanks to my weekly takeaway which is eaten on a tray on my lap (and stomach, and chest LOL)

Cheers :)

Hi Kayc,

Have just ordered a 100g tube of Didi 7 on E-bay.  Thanks for the tip!

Cheers :)
