Couldn't you use different, more pleasing terminology, like "threw up", "revealed my dinner", etc? What is with people nowadays... Back in 1970... (when I was born, people spoke better 🙂)
 
I don't get it - Oxyclean isn't THE holy grail of cleaning... it almost never works as advertised for me.
 
if i drank two bottles of wine, i would fall over dead. i can feel it after only one glass. 3 or 4 glasses is about right. anything over that and i feel crummy and my stomach starts to protest.

<---- lightweight. 😉
 
Do ***NOT*** put any kind of solvent on it, except as an absolute last resort. That definitely includes things like oxyclean. Most new carpet is treated in one way or another with anti-stain chemicals, but once you put a real cleaner onto it, it eats away the protective layer and then it is stained for good...

DO try to clean it using an ungodly amount of warm (possibly slightly soapy - tiny bit of dish soap) water. Pour water onto the middle of the stain (a lot) and then try to sop it up with a clean rag. See if you start transferring the stain to the rag as you sop up the water. If that works, your best bet might be to rent a carpet cleaner - but again, just use water!

Try this first - after all, it can't hurt any more than it is now. Other chemicals might.
 
Anyone who has white carpet deserves it... seriously! Why would you freaking buy white carpet? Unless you never walked on it, it will always get stained and greyish from even small foot traffic.
 
Tell her some naked girl on crack came running through the house and menstruated on the carpet and it was so revolting you didn't think about getting her name or taking a good look at her and you have no idea who it was. 😀

thats funny, but really really nasty
 
Use Oxy clean... my brother got motor oil out of a cream colored burber carpet with it.

This is even after they had tried a professional to clean it... great stuff!
 
buy her a rear projection tv or a giant cabinent as a 'present' and cover the stain with it...either that or fake your own death and pray she doesnt find you.
