Default Removing grease stain from cloth seat?

I had some Italian takeout leak through the paper bag and make a stain the size of a dinner plate on my OEM passenger seat I tried TurtleWax upholstery cleaner but the stain is still noticeably darker than the rest of the cushion. Any suggestions on how to remove the stain?

try some brake parts cleaner on a towel or some goop hand cleaner. I had luck before with them.

Try carpet cleaner with a hard bristle brush. I think it's a 10 dollar fix. Try a good name brand carpet cleaner with a drop or two of dish detergent such as Ajax or dawn.

Dawn dish soap should get it out. It works on clothes with grease stains.

Yeah cleaners won't work since they're only designed to lift dirt, not grease/oil. Brake clean, tuner wash, dish soap, any kind of degreaser should work.
