Actually oil removes oil. And grease is oil based. I removed melted crayon from silk by using peanut butter (also oily) which is an old remedy my gran used. Orange oil is excellent for any greasy job which is why you see so much of that on the market now. (Lemon oil as well) so Yes, Lavender oil and eucalyptus oil work as well. I would say use what ever oily product you have on hand, and/or use what you think might leave a more pleasant scent (good reason to go for the floral or citrus scented oils.) actually now that I know the OIL was the part of the peanut butter that took out the crayon, I don't use peanut butter due to its "thickness and stickiness" but it works quickly!!! No couple of days...it was out in minutes. I do use a lot of vegetable oil because it is on hand, and works just as well.
