Thanks for that, I was wondering about some kind of degreaser, failing that I was thinking of calling Greenpeace and asking what they cleaned the penquins with after an oil spill. I did have some orange oil for removing sticky stuff, but it is quite old, so I probably should buy another if I am going to try that one.

Have just tried a different Google search and looks as though cornpowder will help absorb the greasiness before washing again. It does look as though I stuffed it up in the first place though, I should have tried to comb as much out as possible before washing, but she did it whilst I was in the shower, so I just dragged her in once I saw what she had done.
