How to effectively remove oil stains from carpet??

[jdm_master_X]

what a way to make 1000 posts! haha.

anyway, i use my van to haul around a lot of my S13 crap, such as engines for swaps, parts for sale, etc. overtime its just been ridden with oil stains. is there any home remedies or effective cleaning agents for oil? i just feel that my van at least deserves to be clean for being of such great service to me.

tips?

I'd start with Simple Green and a scrub brush, then rinse and vacuum with a shopvac.

If that doesn't work, carb cleaner will remove it (test first), then follow the above procedures.

if there's like a spot that's drenched with oil, use kitty litter

i did this with my eclipse before i sold it, it works GREAT and smells good too take out the seats and all that take out the carpet, and use a pressure washer on it, pour some soap and spray it off, set in sure and let dry, i promise ull be suprised at what all comes out
