1. Apply a teaspoon of cold water to the spot and blot dry.
2. Mix 1 cup cold water and 1/2 teaspoon liquid dishwashing detergent (do NOT use automatic dishwashing detergent or any detergent containing bleach) in a glass or small container. Moisten the spot with a teaspoonful of the mixture, without getting the carpet too wet. Gently rub the spot with a spoon, working from the outside of the spot towards the center. Next, wet a clean, white cloth with clean water and wipe up as much of the spot and mixture as possible.
3. If a yellow spot results, apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and let stand for about 3 minutes.
4. Mix 1 teaspoon white vinegar and 2 teaspoons cold water in another small container. Apply a teaspoon of the mixture to the spot and gently work it from the outer edges of the spot toward the middle with a clean, white cloth. Blot up the moisture with a dry cloth. Dampen another cloth in clean, cold water and wipe the spot again. Place dry cloths over the area and apply pressure to soak up the moisture.
