Hi Guys
Any of your solvent based spotters e.g white spirit,on a cloth wipe over, then spray with an enzyme boosted detergent, leave for 20 mins and extract with hot water.
If they are tiles you may find the petrol and oil have dissolved some of the backing especially if tar or bitumen based.
Cheers
Doug

If they are large area stains you could use powerburst mixed with hot water as a prespray and give 15 mins dwell then extract.

Hi Mark
I have tried powerburst with varying results, the stains are still visable, i presoaked for 20 mins and scrubbed before lifting out with hot water, justs how wet can i get this carpet to really manually scrub it ? the job could take a while.
