plz help, my rents are back off holiday in a hour, I've been in the garage most of the morning and i have just seen i've trodden thick black grease into the carpet, how do i get it out!!

I trod fifth wheel grease all up and down the stairs once, I used 1001 carpet cleaner, unforunately I woke everyone up with my scrubbing exploits but it did work, and fifth wheel grease is a ******* to shift, good luck with it, and in your new accomodation too

Baby oil. Not kidding....get a bottle of baby oil (can buy it anywhere) and pour it on the carpet. Then use cloths in a circular motion to lift the grease out.

Keep repeating this until it's all up. Be careful using any type of cleaners on carpets as they can leave a mark where they can sometimes bleach a little of the colour out.

Just baby oil it and when it's all out, soapy water to lift the baby oil and dry it as much as you can by laying towels on and standing on them!

Good luck and if you haven't got baby oil....run to the shops NOW!!!!!

Baby wipes work well too.

Yes they do indeed! Might take a million to get the grease up but definately good on grease based stains!

Have you got a baby then, WB? Seems odd that you had some in the house. Or do you use it for - er - other purposes?
