911! Fruit Punch on my Oriental Rug!

Help! I don't have any carpet cleaner and DS is napping so I can't run out and get it right now. Is there anything I can do while the stain is still wet? Laundry stain spray? Vinegar? Help, please! TIA

  • Club soda and dish soap. Spray with club soda and then blot with some Dawn. I hope that helps!

  • When we had our woven-wool rug cleaned recently i was "scolded" for using oxyclean upholstery cleaner on a pet-related spot, so avoid that.  He said to just rinse well.  You could fold over the rug, put towels between the layers and rinse well with water or soda water (the towels underneath wick the liquid through, rinsing the drink back the way it came, instead of deeper into the fibers).

  • Since you're tied to the house right now, try sprinkling baking soda on the stain.  Hopefully it will soak up much of it and then soapy water with some baking soda will finish the job.
