I have an unglazed pot that had some tool oil spilled in the inside. It has soaked into the ceramic. Is there any way of removing the oil ? Thanks in advance.

Try Goof Off Concrete cleaner and Oil stain remover! Available at Home Depot. If the pot is a show pot then try on a lower quality one first to be safe!I have an unglazed pot that had some tool oil spilled in the inside. It has soaked into the ceramic.

How about build a fire, put a wire rack over it, and bake the pot till the oil is gone. Oil burns, high-fired ceramics don't.I have an unglazed pot that had some tool oil spilled in the inside. It has soaked into the ceramic. Is there any way of removing the oil ? Thanks in advance.
That’s a great idea !How about build a fire, put a wire rack over it, and bake the pot till the oil is gone. Oil burns, high-fired ceramics don't.
Thanks. One issue with trying to remove the oil is that if you don't pull it all out, there's the potential for wicking out whatever is left when you moisten the soil. I can't imagine tree roots would care for a hydrocarbon meal.That’s a great idea !
I like this ideaYou could also apply a light coating of the same oil all over the outside of the pot, this would even out or minimize the color change.
You are a sick puppySpread the oil around evenly using a nut sack.
Adair has a well traveled nut sack.
I've even heard if you ask him nicely he will let you use it.
