Homemade Popsicle stain in carpet
 
What would you use to get a homemade strawberry Popsicle stain (strawberries and juice) out of carpet? The stain is vomit. :bag

I have an upright carpet cleaner which I used along with some spray carpet cleaner I had called Foley. But the stain is still visible. Any solutions? I'm willing to go uncrunchy here.

I've used a product called Wine Away on many stains. Even berry stains a week or two later. It removed almost every stain I've thrown at it except tea. It might be worth a try. You can buy it on Amazon. There are other places to buy but I'm not familiar with most so don't know if any are local to you.

Ooo..neat. Never heard of it. They also have Red Stain remover - like, for kids stains. :giggle Maybe I'll try that.

I'd try peroxide, but it might bleach the carpet so test an inconspicuous area or a scrap first.

what kind of carpet do you have? i have had really good success with a scoop of oxyclean sprinkled over the stain and then pouring vinegar over it. you let it sit for 10-15 min and then scrub with hot water. i have only used it on neutral colored carpet tho.

If that doesn't work you can try my little spot steam cleaner. It has a deep clean attachment that got a 3 day old red wine stain out of pale carpet :rockon

I just need to clean out the attachments first :bag

It's a neutral..I forget what kind. I'll try that since I have both lying around.

Awesome! Thanks! Hopefully the oxy and vinegar will work.

What brand of steam cleaner do you have? I have that huge upright but it isn't steam and it didn't do a great job on the spot. It's more for like overall carpet cleaning I guess - like doing a huge room.

Try a mr. Clean magic eraser. Use it in more of an up and down blotting motion and rinse it often, but I use it for all my stains. :yes

Yup. My neighbour's dog got into the easter chocolate on WHITE carpet (who had white carpet with pets and kids?). Got it out like a charm! FWIW, it also takes sharpies off the wall w/o taking the paint with it
