    Default Grease spot on upholstry :(

    When changing my door protector, I accidentally exposed it to some door hinge grease (@#$%*#!!!). The blemish is small, perhaps 1/4 inch square on my parchment door protector. I already tried a carpet stain remover foam to no avail. I do remember someone using lighter fluid (?) to get rid of stains, but Im weary of that idea untill I get some tips. Is it possible to get this stain out? Thanx for all replies!

    CRC Brakleen on a clean, white rag. DAB the spot away with the moist cloth.

    Brakleen evaporates so fast, the dyes etc. won't run.

    Learned this trick from my old Auto Mechanic's teacher in high school. Works great on cloth.
