You need to use a solvent to dilute the grease & then soak this up by dabbing with a clean tissue. Pro cleaners will probably use some form of dry cleaning fluid but I’ve found that ‘panel wipe’ works just as well; it’s a pure solvent used to degrease auto panels prior to spraying.
First I soak the stain well & then dab the area hard with kitchen roll to soak up the residue, use plenty of clean tissue; do this several times & it will remove the most stubborn grease stains; I’ve even used it on a dress suit! Don’t whatever you do use white spirit or turps as this is oil based & will only make things worse & paint thinners will most likely cause the fabric colour to run.
