I had a bottle of the Engine oil sitting in my trunk and I noticed today that the lid for some reason was not tight and was leaking oil into the trunk. It stained part of the carpeting in the trunk and I wanted to know how I would get rid of it? Please help...Thank you.

<<Motor Grease & Heavy Motor Oil
Scrape away as much as possible. For washable materials, rub lard or Vaseline into stain or treat dry fabric with a laundry pre-soak (spot stain remover). Wash in a quality Laundry powder or Liquid. On unwashable materials, such stains are difficult. Treat repeatedly with dry cleaning fluid, continuously changing the pad and the sponging cloth. Finish with a sponging of lukewarm water and synthetic detergent, then warm water to rinse.

... i do know that a muz trunk liner would be a good solution to prevent this in the future. mine has a floor cover that could easily be replaced if it got stained.

 

Thanks for the link...

I got it most of it on the floor panel (above spare tools) and I tried using dawn last night to get rid of the grease. That wasn't very successful as I still have tons of oil that I could feel when I touched the area. I will try tonight with the laundry detergent and see how that will work...
For the other parts (just slightly around the area on the carpeted trunk), do you think I should try to put some detergent on there and leave it overnight then just try to clean it up the next day?

Thanks

 

sounds like a plan... but dont use too much water- you dont want to also have a mold/mildew type problem-
and if that doesnt work then maybe try the dry cleaning fluid, or other spot remover.
