Distressed over rug stain made WORSE by baking soda. Help!
I was given a large (12x16) area rug recently. We just moved into a house with a large hardwood living room. Rug is low pile, off-white with a wedgewood blue diamond pattern. It used to be in my boss' private gym, which she never used. It cost a few thousand $$ and I'm so upset that it already has a stain.
DH was playing too roughly with one of my toddlers after snack (yes, I am blaming this all on him 
) and she spit up. He blotted it with a damp rag, and when I got home it was still wet. It smelled like puke, but no color. He suggested we sprinkle some baking soda and let it stand overnight. I went to vacuum it in the morning and the stain had yellowed.
Is there anything to be done with yellowing caused by baking soda? Today I tried some Folex spray which can be a miracle cure, and it did absolutely nothing.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
