Re: a bad thing happened

If you are having problems getting the oil out of your carpet, Wal-Mart carries a product called greased lightning which lifts grease out of carpets very well so it should also work on oil. It is just pure surfactant. Spray on or dab on with a damp sponge. Let it set a couple of minutes then work the spot with a samp sponge, then soak up with a paper towel. The product is inexpensive and usually found in the cleaning supplys in the grocery section at Wal-Mart.
