Default Oil inside

Heya fellas. I've really been enjoying my new mustang. Small problem though.

I work at an oil change place. I'm trying my best to change clothes before and after I get into my car. But sometimes, that just isn't possible. But then, I try to be as careful as can be.

But, alas, I have gotton oil marks on my cloth seat. We do have a degreaser there at the shop, but I'm afraid to use it. I think it might be too harsh on the interior. Or am I wrong? Anyone know of a proven safe way of getting oil and such out of the interior?

-Jake

Rent a steam cleaner with an upholstery tool. The rental shop will have additives for grease and heavy stain removal. You don't want to rub anything on your fabric because you'll end up rubbing the dirt in. You can treat stains with a stain remover, then use the steam cleaner to extract.
You might consider buying some coveralls.

degresser would work, but very risky, (depends on what the seat fabric is), steam cleaner would work wiyh a little ammoina. thats what one of my friends used on his car seats.

I have used Castrol super clean on my interior. I have had some oil stains in the floor that the greaser/cleaner worked very well with. This stuff even says on the bottle that it can be used with laundry so I would assume its safe for seats.
