ooh that sounds a bit serious.

I wouldn't have thought it to be a problem at first because they are both oil products.

Try rubbing cat litter on teh stain. It can absorb the oil Also try rubbing a degreaser into teh stain(even washing up liques can help!

washing up liquid, hot water and a scrubbing brush!! oh and a bit of the ole elbow grease.

Thanks for the advice will try the washing up liquid method first tomorrow.

Also washing powder is pretty good! leave it to soak for a while though!
