Help
I dropped a bottle of sesame oil and the top came out splattering a mat painted wall! I realise it will have to be repainted but in the meantime I am trying to get rid of as much oil as possible. I have tried the hot iron on top of kitchen paper to no avail, please can anybody advise!!!!!!!!!!

Have you got any chalk ? You need to use the long edge( like you would do a rubbing) go over the area till you see the chalk not the oil. Leave it to dry to absorb, then ligtly rub the area with a clean soft cloth slightly moistened.
Not sure if talc would have the same effect, but the oil needs to be absorbed.

Another option is to buy a little pot of something called Terre de Sommières, which is a bit like Fullers' Earth - you just sprinkle it on oil stains (on clothes, terracotta or whatever), leave it for a few hours to absorb the oil then hoover it up. Easy to find in the brico sheds - Starwax make it but probably other marques too.

Thanks for the tip of 'Terre de Sommières', I have never heard of it but as I'm going to Perpignan tomorrow I'll pick some up to have in in case of anymore mishaps! I applied the talc last night and it has worked wonders! The stain is still visable, I've applied more this morning, at least it's delayed having to re-decorate so soon after it was originally done!
