Remember back to chemistry "like dissolves like". Greases are non-polar so you'd need a non-polar solvent to remove the stain. Use hot water too. You're gonna have to scrub too.

Always try simple green before anything else. It's the god of all solutions and it takes out everything.

When I make a mess in the shop I usually use industrial strength Simple Green just let it sit for a while. Or you could use brake cleaner that **** removes anything, you'll need alot though.

For oil, use some cat litter. Ive been using that trick for years. and +2 for simple green on most stains too.
