Lamp oil spill

Got a situation where an oil burning lamp fell over spilling 8-12 oz lamp oil. Happened a couple months ago. Visible stain is appx. 18" long and 6" wide. I visualize that it is soaked all the way into the pad and maybe subfloor (2nd story BR). Any suggestions?

Re: Lamp oil spill

You might try long, slow encapping, to wear away the oil as far down from the top as you can. Maybe even scrub some in vigorously by hand with a dish brush, or fingernail brush, to get the encapsulant way down deep. I don't think it will be possible to remove the oil from the base of the carpet. Carpet may require replacement if the oil problem keeps coming back.
