Thanks trishaluvslv for the tip and wish the grease stain gone by now.

ooh good tip! thanks for that, i'll definitely be keeping that in mind! Hikarupanda, update us as to how it goes!

hi all, the stain did get lighter but it's not completely gone, it does look blend in with the grey distressed leather so not that visible now. I wonder if I should repeat this process again and see if it will improve...

Glad to hear it helped. Hope it gets better if you decide to try it again

Good luck. I'd try it again since it helped.

Try again. It is really a good trick == just might take more than one night.

Hikarupanda, yes, try it again and leave it overnight or put something slightly heavier on top of the cornstarch/cloth to help "draw" out the oil a bit more....it won;t hurt to leave it on for a day. And you can always use a cloth to dust away the excess cornstarch.

thanks, I did it again today and leave it for like another 6 hours.....it never completely go away, but it blends in alright, so I guess I will just leave it....I just spray some apple guard stain repellent now to hopefully avoid another diaster....thanks so much for the tip about cornstarch though!!!

you are welcome!

I'm so glad you were able to lessen the stain so it blends in!! I definitely would have beenif that had happened to me!
