loominaz34 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 ...Or better yet, put it over the entire carpet so it's like a special two tone floormat package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomshado Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 dump some dawn dish soap on the area, and then get a shampooer to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 OXY CLEAN!!! Seriously though, I'd try blotting the oil out then spraying on some simple green and blotting that out. Rinse and repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 if its your carpet in your trunk your talking about take it out and clean it best you can. if its your interior carpet that has the stain i'm not gonna say anything that carpet starts to fall apart if you try cleaning it :?

mfewtrail Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Order of Business regarding your situation: 1. Commit Patricide* 2. Try a variety of cleaners on the carpet as suggested above. 3. Replace carpet if necessary *-ignore #1 :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 I'd try simple green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight rider Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 this worked to remove tar from my house carpet(don't ask, the ole lady still brings it up when she is pissed) I sprayed the spots with engine degreaser and scrubed them with a brush then sprayed the area with carpet cleaner and toweled it off. The carpet cleaner gets rid of the degreaser smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a variety of cleaners on the carpet as suggested above. 3. Replace carpet if necessary *-ignore #1 :shock: That sounds like the best option. A gallon of oil in the carpet is a lot of oil. I had a QUART on the floor of my old GP and it would never come fully clean. It eventually smelled bad enough that I just ripped the carpet out.

topless94style Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Well, so far i sprayed almost an entire can of foaming cleaner on the stain, and used a shop vac to suck most of it up. I then went out of town for the weekend, and its been sitting ever since. Just one more thing i have to buy for the beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
