So how do I get a stain out of my carpet?

[Albis]

The carpet is a biege color and I already wiped it up with towels. It still looks a little brown. So any good ideas?

Blot with a white paper towel to remove as much of the stain as possible, then neutralize with a white vinegar solution (1/3 cup WHITE vinegar in 2/3 cup of water). Saturate spot with white vinegar solution, using a spray bottle and blot to remove excess moisture.

Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dish washing detergent which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of water; examples of safe detergents are Dawn® and Joy®.) Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying detergent and blotting with a white paper towel until spot is removed.

Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture.

Spray lightly with water, do not blot this time; apply pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry.

If there is still some stain on the carpet and blotting is not removing it, then moisten the tufts in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let stand for on (1) hour. Blot and repeat until carpet is stain free. Light will cause peroxide to change back to water so no rinsing is necessary. Apply pad of paper towels and weight down with brick.

Oxy-based carpet cleaner should also work. If you can, head to Home Depot or Lowes and pickup a can of Spot Shot. It's in an orange and blue can and is quite effective on stains.

A CARPET CLEANER CHIMES IN: The above instructions sound PERFECT. The only thing I would add is to use a shop-vac to suck up any excess moisture and be careful with the peroxide.
