Things You'll Need:
- Paper towels
- Rubbing alcohol
- Washcloths
-
Step 1
Use paper towels to blot the oil. Use a lifting motion and blot until no more oil comes off on the paper towel.
-
Step 2
Remove the stain by blotting it with small amounts of rubbing alcohol poured onto a small washcloth. The alcohol will absorb the oil and lift up the stain. You may need several cloths for a large stain. Be sure to blot, not wipe, as wiping can cause the stain to spread.
