Soft Pastel Problem?

Question

I stained my carpet with the dust from a black soft pastel stick. There is a fairly large black spot there now. How can I remove or greatly reduse the appearance of it?

Answer 1

Flood it with club soda, the carbonation will push up the stain then you can "blot" with a soft cotton cloth, like a diaper or a kitchen towel to remove.  It may take a couple of tries before it oes away completely.   Good luck.

Answer 2

Try a rug doctor or a steam cleaner or maybe a cleaning service. It might coast you but you want to try to get it out right?
