Question

i have beige carpet with orange spots from where powder dropped and black eyeliner and pink lipliner from tip falling off and getting smashed into the carpet. please help. i tried rug doctor carpet shampooing and they are still there. =-(

Answer 1

The rug doctor chemicals may have actually set the stain but you can try some cold cream make up remover. Just rub it into the spot allow to sit 10 minutes then wipe away with a cool damp cloth rinsing and repeating is necessary. that is what I do whenever make up accidents happen. Very gentle and won't fade the carpet. Use a hair brush to redistribute the carpet fibers once dried.

Answer 2

There is a great bar soap you can buy called Fels-Naptha. Wet the stain with cool water. Use bar soap on a wet washcloth and rub with the soap. Rub this in well.then rinse it with clean water, if it's on clothes launder it...

Answer 3

~~Try using hydrogen peroxide (about a cup) with a small (few drops) of liquid dishwashing soap. Saturate the stain, then let it sit for one hour. Blot up then wash thoroughly with clear water. Stains will be gone. Test an inconspicuous spot of your carpet first to be sure it's colorfast. Most carpets are.Good luck!~~
