on 11/25/2007 The baby powder totally worked! I just removed a huge oil stain from my new couch. I was so upset that my new couch had a huge stain. I put the baby powder on and let it set for several hours. Vacuumed it off and the stain is 95% gone! I am thrilled! I didnt even need the pretreatment or the hot water

on 1/15/2008 I'm so glad I saw this site; I wore my brand new, really, really, really, really lovely, never been worn jacket today and promptly got salad oil down the front (can't take me anywhere). 'Bummed' doesn't cover it. So, after kicking myself all the way home I went online, positive it was in vain and I now was the owner of yet another shabby coat, and promptly came to your site. Well, I read the tips, did what was suggested (the talc method) and managed to wait 25 minutes until I HAD to check, expecting no improvement and have found the PROMINENT stains almost gone! So, my beautiful and needlessly, but deliciously, expensive coat has been resusitated, I'm happy again and all is right with the world (except for Bush). Thank you all soooo much!!! Really.
