flammable camping fuel (white gas)... seriously! it will take it right out,
but be sure you have plenty of ventilation and nothing around (water heater
/ furnace) or items that have a spark or flame that could ignite.
if you use a rag to wipe it up with camping fuel, be sure to rinse rinse
rinse the gas out of the rag... if you don't, and simply throw it away, it
could ignite on it's own and cause a fire. |

I put kitty litter on fresh oil stains! Let it set for several hours, then
brush it up with a broom. It does a pretty good job of lifting and
absorbing oil, especially if it is a fresh spill. I use a fine-textured
"clumping" litter, but that is only because I always have that available for
my cats. I don't know if the texture makes any difference, or not.

To dispose of such rags, put them a glass jar, fill the jar with water, and
then throw it away.

Apply an absorbent such as talcum powder or cornstarch to the affected area, then brush away. If the stain is heavy or old, proceed to Step 2; if fresh, skip to Step 3.
Step2
Place stain facedown on paper towels. Blot back of stain with a dry-cleaning solvent. Replace paper towels as they soak up the stain.
Step3
Spray with laundry pretreatment.
Step4
Wash in the hottest water that's safe for the garment.
Step5
Air dry.
