Oily spots from grease, tar, baby oil, suntan oil, etc are usually quite stable, so they’re not especially urgent to deal with – apart from visual annoyance.
As long as you call your Local Hometown Professional Carpet Cleaner. within a few days, oil can usually be removed with success.
Scrape up the excess, remove as much of the oil as possible without spreading it.
Do not apply water or any other liquid as oil repels water and it will probably just spread the oil out over a larger area.
We wouldn’t recommend using any of the available stain removers you see advertised or at your local market, as these may make it worse.
These simple tips will minimize any damage or discoloration to your carpets and rugs.
Be sure to ask your Professional Carpet Care Specialist for “Carpet Shield” carpet and fabric protector.
