Does anyone know how to get an oil stain out of leather?

A collegue of mine in work has a bad cold and purchased Obas Oil (a nose decongestant), this has smashed in her leather bag and left a stain - does anyone know the best way to get rid of it?Does anyone know how to get an oil stain out of leather?
Please do not try putting all these sugested products onto the leather, you already have a stain and it will only make it worse.





Once an oil stain has got inside leather it cannot be extracted out except with special chemicals. You can only clean off the surface of leather and not from inside it. Try cleaning with a specialist leather cleaner and if this does not work contact a leather specialist.Does anyone know how to get an oil stain out of leather?
yes put some goo gone on it rub it in then wash it it will come out!!!
Go to the supermarket shoe care section and get some Kiwi saddle soap. It's made for cleaning and softening all leathers. It won't harm it or change the color. It's less than 5 bucks and it applies with a damp sponge. Depending on how bad the stain is you may need more than one application but it will be cheap and effortless.
If the goo-gone does not work try toothpaste and if that does not work try WD40.
