Removing oil from raw teak
Any clues on how to get motor oil out of untreated teak rather than time?

Re: Removing oil from raw teak
I have had luck with "dish soap" and if unsatisfactory added the application of steam to raise the oil. I have also ground "oil dry" into a powder and rubbed into the grain and let sit to draw the oil out.
You might have to resort to "fracking"

Fracking! That's rich, Greg. The Oil
Dri comment reminded me of my wife using borax to pull stains up from carpet. I Googled that to see it's been made into a paste with vinegar and detergent. I had some vinegar on the boat cleaning electrical connections and I put a little on that stain. It did appear to lighten some.
Thanks for responding.
