Machine and Motor Oil Stains

If you change your vehicle's oil yourself, or do other work on cars, motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers, chainsaws or other machinery, then you are probably no stranger to the mess that oil, fluids or grease can cause. Often the stains end up on your clothes, your tools, and your driveway or garage floor. And if you are not careful, it can easily be tracked indoors from your shoes onto carpeting or other flooring.

Motor oil and engine grease are thick, water-resistant petroleum products. It's not easy to clean that black greasy stuff off your hands or from beneath your nails –let alone the challenge of getting it off clothes, upholstery, carpet, etc. But it can be done!

To remove motor oil stains from clothes, carpet, upholstery, cement, asphalt, and other surfaces easily, quickly and completely without harming the underlying material…Goof Off® Heavy Duty Spot Remover & Degreaser is the way to go. Goof Off® contains solvents that will actually dissolve the oil and the stain it leaves behind. If you're dealing with cooking or other household oils, Goof Off® Spot Remover & Degreaser for Household Stains works like magic on those problems as well.

Oil Stains on Clothes

Removing a fresh motor oil stain is easier than removing one that has soaked in for a long time. Consequently, the sooner you can treat the stain, the better. Even if you cannot get it into the washing machine right away –treat the stain with Goof Off® –and then launder it whenever you have a chance.
NOTE: Always test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric before applying Goof Off® to make certain no damage or discoloration will occur.

Cement or Asphalt

Goof Off®'s powerful solvents will dissolve those dark spots quickly. Goof Off® is safe for a wide variety of surfaces, so you can use it on the asphalt road in front of your house, a brick, stone or concrete walkway, the painted walls of your garage, or any metal tools.
