  2. Well you need to have a bucket of soapy water, a soft bristled brush and lots of old rags handy.

    1.  wash the stained area with lots of soapy water brush it well then using dry rags rub as much moisture out of the carpet as possible.

    2. repeat the above process with non-soapy cold water.

    3. have it dry with a fan or a hair dryer.

    Later on rent a steam cleaner and  clean the carpet properly.  

  3. Blot up all of the juice that you can and then you need to soak it well with white vinegar, let it sit for a few minutes and then blot it up with lots of towels or paper towels.  You have to soak the carpet right through to the padding or you will not get rid of the odor.  

    If you want to take it a step further, there is a product called Natures Miracle found at large department stores and at better pet stores that can get nasty smelling urine smells out of carpet, so it should be able to get the watermelon smell out of the carpet.  It is not cheap, but it really, really works.  You use it like the white vinegar, soak it really well and let it sit for awhile then soak up the excess.  But, if you soak it and let it dry from the soaking wet stage with no blotting, it actually works better at removing the odor.  If you want, put a small fan blowing on the stain to help it dry quicker.  

  4. i would spray the area..and then go rent one of those steam cleaner things that clean the carpet..

  5. new carpet
