  1. Sprinkle some baking soda on top of it and let it sit. Then vaccum it up. It should work unless it's already dried in. Then I'd try some oxyclean. =)

    Hope it helps you!! =)


  2. if u dont have carpet cleaner take a little dishsoap and a cup of really hot water and scrub..the dish soap will make it white with foam so dont use a lot but scrub with a towel or scrubbing pad n when ure done and all foam is gone..vacuum spot..works for me

  3. after you soak it right up with dry towel rags, spray "Folex" on it and sop that up as well, and there will be no stain.

  4. clean it up with pine soil

    lol

  5. rug doctor..go rent one

  6. i just a new product called carpet stain remover, and all you do is just press on it after spraying the product on it. Its the red spray bottle i believe called revolution! Good Luck!

  7. well sense you logged on asked this question its probably already soaked in

    now your screwed!!!!

  8. lol haha use bleach... dee dee dee and then with the sponge..

  9. After you blotted up as much as you can--laying old towels over the

    spill and standing on them is a great way to start.

    Scrape up any solids.

    Pour club soda on the spill.  Don't be afraid to really pour it on.  The car

    bonation in the soda will "bubble up" the spill so that you can blot it up.

    Again, cover the spot with clean,light-colored towels or rags and stand

    on them.  This will really help to absorb the spill.  Continue to pour and

    absorb until all colors from the stain has been blotted up and the towel

    is coming up clean.

    Follow up with a good carpet stain remover like Spot Shot Instant Car-

    pet Stain Remover.

    When you spot-clean carpet, never rub, as it will only spread the stain

    and will cause abrasion to the carpet fibers .

    This is a good general cleaning method for most spills and definitely

    will not cause any damage.

  10. if you have a shop vac use it to get the excess fluid up. For any stain on the carpet try spraying "spray and wash" on the stain, then use a damp cloth to remove the stain and the spray. It works I used this treatment on oil on my carpet, and it worked beautifully,

  11. carpet cleaner.  best thing to do once u have soaked up most of the liquid is to put another cloth down and put something heavy on top.  and then when the liquid comes up again (which it will)  it will soak into the cloth.  then use a good carpet stain remover.  There is one in a dark blue can (Chem Dry) thats carbonated, it works really well.... Good Luck

  12. oxi-clean and water mixed and then rubbed onto stain. Allow to soak, then blot. Also, resolve is a good carpet stain remover. Or even Spot On. Good luck!

  13. Take a sponge and lightly damp it on the carpet, if you have too you can use some baking soda for the stain and the best bet for you, if you do not have a fancy carpet cleaner, use some water and soap.

  14. There are some spot cleaners on the market which work fairly well.  In the meantime, try dumping a little powdered soap on the wet stain, let it crust up, then brush hard and vacuum.  The soap should absorb most of the dye and liquid, the brushing breaks up the crust, and the vacuuming removes it.  Then get a spot remover or cleaner for any residual stain or marks left behind.

  15. I don't know how accurate it might be, but the respondents in the link below suggest either soda water, or Windex.

    I do know that soda water is a very good spot carpet cleaner, for a lot of different kind of spills.

    Hope that if they don't work, someone can give you the right product or natural remedy, to use. Good luck! I hope that you get it back to original.


  16. Go over it with a wet rag, vacum it up, pour a cap full of bleach , let it sit for ten minutes, go over it with carpet foam , VOLA!!!

  17. shamWOW!! i don't own one though.

    lol!

  18. Try to soak up as much as you can with paper towels.  Then wash the area with carpet cleaner.  Lemonade has sugar and if left in the carpet will gather every particle of dirt that passes over it leaving a horrible black stain.  You need to clean it as thoroughly as possible and rinse it out really well.

    If you know anyone who has a vacuum that also washes upholstery, borrow it.  It is probably the best way to clean something like that.   Do not use bleach in any case!!

  19. well pink lemonade dosent really stain if it does you need to get a carpet cleaner but if i did that is really weird get a towel and soak it up

  20. pour salt over the top it draws it out  

  21. Brawny!

  22. What colour is your carpet?

  23. Go buy a time machine, go back to before u spilled it and dont spill it.
