Cycle-related cleaning

Remove grease with Eucalyptus Oil, then wash normally.

Try the Eucalyptus Oil on the black marks also.

I got grease and oil stains on my carpet (numerous spots), which I presume came from under my cleats.
Tried bloody Britex, did nothing, didn't work...then I used small amount of Spree laundry powder scrubbed into the spots, with hot water, scrubbed with a plastic nail brush...marks all gone now!!! I figured that as the carpet is wool...its just like a jumper (U.S.A. - sweater)

I would have more benefits from a English - Danish translator, personally ... 😄

Anyways, try and rub laundry soap (powder or what you call it) into the spots, using hot water. Try and soak it in the sink for 20 min first, if it doesn't help. Many detergents (like the infamous Cilit-Bang and Vanish and such) contains bleach and WILL discolor your clothes. Since yours are white-coloured dress pants, (hope it's "pants" like American: "pants" or "trousers"... Wouldn't want to see anyone dressed up wearing UNDERWEAR). Just a warning, if you should get other colors of clothes dirty. Also why you should always try and use laundry specific detergents first.

I glossed over that sentence quickly and thought you had written "[censored]-Bang"

1. I somehow got cycle grease all over my white-coloured dress pants. How do I remove it?

If washable material either, Rub Sards wondersoap into the stains and/or Napi San soak.
