Re: oil/chain lube on my carpet!!
Had the same problem last week with my youngest leaving a trail of oil/grease from the push bike across the carpet
 Reached for some Hein Gericke motorcycle cleaner, gave it a few sprays, left a minute or two and it came up like new . Result

Laminate Flooring
 I did exactly the same thing, walked straight through the living room with that horrible black gunky stuff that builds up around the front sprocket on the base of my shoes. I couldn't shift it with anything I had in the house, so decided I didn't like the carpet anyway. Love the new laminate quick mop over & job done
