not specifically grease but I've had great success with the domestic carpet cleaner machines ( I usually hire a Karcher machine from HSS).
On a Passat estate daughter had bought from a farmer I had to do it three times ( yes !!) but they came up looking like new, so a spot clean of neat cleaner, allowed to soak then the general all over clean.

I get a lot of grease in my vehicles(Working on cars) and I use aerosol hairspray and a toothbrush. I then use some water and a rag, pour on the water and dab with the clean cloth to get the rest out. I found this works really well. It even got the grease out that i put on the seats when I put my mini bike inside so it would not get stollen at the mall. My fault I did not look at where the chain was but i got it all out and I bet you would never know where it was?

Get a stain devil it removes all sorts of grease,oil, blood, rust etc just read the label and then use vanish carpet mouse to clean the whole seat with dead cheap and it works really well

I a little curious as to how you come to have blood in your interior. I can understand grease, oil, and rust.
