strong degreaser, but it might bleach out the rug depending on how the rug was dyed. otherwise youre pretty much fucked. ---

It’s an area rug. It’s not super dirty, but someone walked on it with a greasy shoe, so there are a few shoe prints on it… It wasn’t super expensive (as rugs go) but i think i was about 150 bucks… ---

> [@newman](#): > > Ideas? Hey Newman, try Purple Power. I know its some kind of degreaser to get oil stains off driveways, but give it a shot. Ive used it before on my clothes, and the shit works awesome. Just dont let it sit there too long. You might also want to mix it 20%PP + 80% water. HOpe it helps. I get mine from PepBoys. ---
