The oil attracts large amounts of dirt and other debris and pulls it in whatever the oil is sitting on. The hardest part to deal with when it comes to carpet cleaning an oil stain is to not send the oil deeper into the layers of padding and cushioning below your carpet. You do not have to deal with mold or mildew when you have an oil stain, you just have to live with all of the debris and dirt that the oil will attract.
Your house is the last place that you want to have oil in, and you should take some steps to know take care of the problem before it gets worse.

You should take paper towels and try to remove as much of the oil with just the paper. Next you can apply some sort of stain remover or the fingernail polish remover that was mentioned earlier.
If you are ever cleaning with chemicals then you should know the importance of wearing protective gear in order to not hurt yourself. Gloves are usually a good idea when you are working with large amounts of any chemical, and making sure air flow is good is always a good idea. Of course you could bypass all of the pain and struggle to remove any stain and just have a professional capret cleaning tech in Philadelphia to deal with the problem.
