I have a set in coffee stain on my carpet that I've been trying to remove for some time now, any suggestions?

I've tried spray&wash, Wisk and a few other things, no luck.

It was a full extra large. I only took one sip before i dropped it.

Yeah.. New carpeting.

Someone dumped a coffee on my livingroom carpet, tried to get it all while still wet, and no such luck.

Gasoline combined with a match should help blend it back in.

I had a red wine stain on light grey carpet that I couldn't get out for the longest time. Got this stuff called Oxy-Clean and followed the directions. Did it over about 10 times, but the stain came up, FWIW.

That's what I'm thinking, I was just hoping for a miracle.

Oxyclean was great, but can't find it anymore around here. I think it may have had those wonderful 'stain eater' enzymes. Pollutants you know.

I can still get it where I am, and it's supposed to be pretty environment friendly (though I don't know for sure). But here are two sites...

If you can't buy it here

http://www.ascleanedontv.com/oxyclean.html

Try this one and click "contact us" and ask where it's available if you can't buy it through the site...

I've used it before, I think the discount store down the street probably still carries it.

Hmm. Too bad, that stuff worked wonders on Amanda's socks, I hope they still sell it at my boutique - Giant Tiger.

If so, I may have you buy and send. It was great, not as good as the stuff in the 70's but close!

I'll betcha she isn't dealing with the stuff kids or golfers get into: grass, grape juice, etc.

Probably not, she doesn't "do" dirt. She has this thing attached to her furnace that actually zaps stuff. She's able to use a feather duster.....a FEATHER DUSTER.

She doesn't do animals either and I used to have this cat that had a thing for her. He would literally stop dead in his tracks and walk directly over to her, climb up on her shoulders and rub himself all over her neck and face.

Now I could love a cat like that!

Cover the stain with foamy shaving cream (from a can). Scrub with a brush or sponge then rinse with water, let dry and vacuum.
