Martha Stewart , Martha Stewart , Martha Stewart  its Heloise that you

Try Peanut Oil (or peanut butter) and get ready for a real mess because
its going to become like paint, then use regular rubbing alcohol to get
the peanut oil out.
SERIOUS.
You might want to try this on an old T shirt or something before you risk
the shock.
