Try a can of ether, engine starting fluid. Works great on grease that gets on the carpet.

 

Haha..but then you have starter fluid in your carpet!

 

Nope! It lifts the grease out and the remainder evaporates with no residue. Been doing it for years in the big truck shops, even in my house when I track in grease. Works like a charm.

 

be careful as mentioned already Simple green has bleach in it ... It will stain the carpet...I`m sure no matter what that smell will always be there unless you put a million little tree air fresheners in it...

 

Yea I can still smell gas in my blazer on hot days from when the jetski gas tank tipped over in the back

 

The bleach in simple green is new to me... I have used it in the laundry with my work clothes without issue.

Well, this kinda confirms that...

 

Haha oh dear..[sm=bustedsign.gif]

 

Simple green seems to be the all purpose multi use cleaner for all sorts of things!!

 

I can say for sure that it stains aluminum......

ok so whats in it that ya have to do this? Always spot-test on an inconspicuous area (such as in a closet or spot that’s covered by furniture,) before cleaning large or prominent areas. This is to make sure that your carpet is colorfast and compatible with Simple Green

 

I keep a 50/50 mix in a spray bottle in the shop for cleaning up stuff. My parents car had an oil leak one day when they pulled into my driveway. Sprayed some simple green on the asphault and let it sit for a bit. Hosed it off and the oil was gone. As I already said, I use it to clean my work shirts/pants with grease and oil on them. Also use it to wash my shop towels. Both come out very well. Too bad the washer doesn't fair too well. I always end up cleaning it out as it'll get a ring of gunk at the water line that comes out of the laundry. Wife really hates that when I don't get all of that stuff wiped out. LOL

*EDIT* - Never have tried it on any aluminum, but I don't doubt it. Aluminum gets stained fairly easily though.
