Default HELP! Cleaning Wet Okoles

Finally got my new tranny in. Picked it up Friday and bought a quart of ATF and funnel from Wal-mart just in case. Well, the quart was unopened and in a plastic bag on the passenger's seat and I left it there overnight. Next morning, a pie plate sized stain of ATF on the seat cover. I tried washing it it the sink with Dawn, I tried the washing machine. Neither worked. Any suggestion about how I might get the ATF out without ruining the seat cover?

I called them. They really didn't know, suggested I try their neoprene cleaner on their website. As usual, their website is all screwed up and couldn't order anything. Any other suggestions?

If it is ruined, you could try brake cleaner. I've taken oil stains out of my carpet with it.
Before you do it, try a small spot somewhere that does not show.
Good luck
