catnip Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 There are grease stains on my oak stairs (which have been sealed with diamond glaze in the past). I have tried de-greasing sprays, washing up liquid, salt, etc but to no avail. Any suggestions would be gratefully receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Grease should not mark varnish, are you sure it’s not coming out of the timber and now trapped under the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catnip Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 No the stairs have been in for 20 years. Diamond glaze was done 10 years ago so is probably a bit worn by now. The grease came from child eating sandwiches on the stairs !!!. (not mine). Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ambrose Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 IPA maybe? - the alcohol kind rather than the ale kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catnip Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 Thanks, I will try IPA. In the meantime I have just sprayed it with dry shampoo, which has improved it greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
