    ohhh I saw something on tv the other day for getting oil stains out of things. It could have been that spray eucalyptus oil.....Nah, it wasn't that.

    I did find this though

    Upholstery
    1. Sprinkle baking soda, cornstarch, or other absorbent on the stain. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes, and then vacuum.
    2. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent.
    3. Blot until the solvent is absorbed.
    4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the stain disappears.

    Carpet
    1. If possible, scrape off excess oil.
    2. Sprinkle baking soda, cornstarch, or other absorbent on the stain. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes, and then vacuum.
    3. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent.
    4. Blot until the solvent is absorbed.
    5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the stain disappears or is no longer absorbed into the cloth.
    6. If the stain remains, mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with this solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed.
    7. Sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the detergent/vinegar solution.
