Removing small oil stain

I'm not sure if this is really "technical" but here goes. Can you recommend something to remove a small oil mark from the fluffy upholstery on the wardrobe door (Dimension 2). I was a bit too enthusiastic when wrenching the headrest off and one of the headrest arms brushed the upholstery, leaving a bit of oil. Very small but annoying out of all proportion to its size.

As with some other annoying things in life alcohol is the answer ( in moderation of course!). I use an industrial alcohol but vodka would do, perhaps gin too! dab the stain (don't rub it ) with a cotton bud soaked in alcohol, don't be tempted to use any thinners or white spirit as they will leave a tide mark, alcohol evaporates rather than soaks in.

Thanks Ant - that's what I call a perfect answer; it solves the problem and it means I have to buy a bottle of vodka ;D

Cheers..!
