Hi
one thing a trimmer I know swears by is brake cleaner - It removes odours as well and is basically dry cleaning fluid (ish) leaves no markes and gets rid of grease too
Gajet  yes that's correct, seen it used to remove grease from carpets at a dealers, it is a cleaning fluid, not nice for skin, so get the marigolds on

Thanks for the various tips.
I have now treated the mat with a third application of Vanish Carpet Foam ((thanks for the tip Adrian) and it seems to have done the job. I have also invested in a far better quality travel mug to ensure there are no further incidents.
Also, whilst visiting the local (and excellent) Halfords I noticed they have some very good looking rubber mats on sale. I am very tempted to get some for my tintop for the winter.

You just can't beat the smell of fresh rubber. I'm a big fan of a mat on a mat on a mat.

I was offered a tip for a similar issue a few years ago. It consisted of finding some fresh canine faeces and spreading a little over the stain, where it should be left to dry. It won't get rid of the milk stain completely, but it will stop you moaning about it..

Must be a wrong link. I listened the whole conversation and learned that I am not qualified for proper tower conversation.
