Default How to clean spilled olive oil?

Hey everyone! I had a total kitchen disaster today. I dropped a bottle of olive oil and some splashed onto my dining chairs. I’ve tried dabbing it with dish soap, but there are still these dark, greasy circles everywhere. Does anyone have a trick for oil stains?

Oil is so tricky because it just sinks right into the padding. I had a similar mess when my kids dropped pizza on our new sectional. I tried everything from cornstarch to baking soda, but the grease shadows just wouldn't budge. Eventually, I called Chicago Couch Cleaning https://chicago-couchcleaning.com/ to handle it. They use a professional steam extraction method that literally melts the oil away without damaging the fabric. It is definitely one of those times you need professional upholstery cleaning services in Chicago rather than a DIY fix. They were so quick and actually saved the chair from looking ruined.
