What you need
- Terre de sommière
For oil stains on the floor
Simply remove the excess grease left by the oil using a paper towel or blotting paper. Then sprinkle the Terre de Sommière generously on the stain, without rubbing. Leave it to act for at least 2 to 3 hours. Gently rub the powder when it is well impregnated with the oil stain, then vacuum or sweep it. If the stain persists, you can repeat these steps.
For oil stains on granite or marble
Follow the same process as for an oil stain mentioned above. Given the porous nature of granite and marble, the stain may be stubborn. If the stain persists, you can make a paste of Fuller’s Earth and turpentine. Simply combine the two ingredients to make a paste so that the substance penetrates the pores of the stone. Apply the paste with a brush and let it sit for 12 to 24 hours. Vacuum to finish.
For oil paint stains
Simply sprinkle the Terre de Sommière directly onto the fresh stain. Wait a few hours for the powder to absorb the stain and remove it. Remove the powder. If the stain persists, you can make a paste of Terre de Sommières and turpentine oil and follow the same process as for stains on marble or granite.
