Subject:Removing oil from upholstery

Believe it or not, there is vanagon content here.

When i put the Orphan ('82 diesel Westy) on its roof last month most
all the crankcase oil drained into the body.  An hour later when it
was put to rights, all that black sooted oil came draining back. I
have oil stains EVERYWHERE. Worst places are on my new canvas
(acrylic) and on the OEM curtains. I removed the worst one and
laundered it with double doses of detergent and Oxy-clean.  Still has
a bunch of oil in it.

If there was still a dry cleaner in this part of the world I'd let
them deal with it. But since there's not....

I am open to suggestion.
