I spilled some hand lotion on the carpet and it's left a bad mark - can anyone recommend anything that will clean this? :( :unsure:

Put a rug over it

Sorry Rosie I am clueless about such things.

All of I can think of is dishwashing detergent, since it's made to cut grease, but that might fade the carpet. :(

If you put a piece of brown bag, the thin kind that lunch comes in, over the stain and carefully iron it with a not too hot iron, you might be able to get the stain up. My ex-mother-in-law used to do that to get greasy footprints from her son's boots off her lovely carpet, or so I've been told :)

LMAO Giz

Toothpaste? No wait that's for marker on furniture. I can't remember what's good for stains on the floor. I do know what you do if you have a pot or pan that has baked on grease . You fill up the pot or pan with warm water and put in a fabric softner sheet and let it set a couple hours or overnight. Then just wipe off. ;)

YAY!!! Thank you Breeni!! The dishwashing liquid worked like a charm!!! I'm happy!! Bless you!

And thanks to everyone else for the ideas too - Giz, I woulda gone with the rug thing except for the location of the spot just didn't work with a rug!! :lol:

Just for future reference, the enzymatic pet cleaners (like Simple Solutions and Nature's Miracle) seem to work really well for pretty much any stains. :) I've used them for ketchup, chocolate, and blood on clothes (I'm a messy eater AND a clutz :lol: :rolleyes: ).

Yay! I'm glad it worked. :D

Rosie... now that the crisis is over, can I ask WHAT you were doing with hand lotion? :whistle:

Just thought maybe you were re-reading our swap from last night. :lol:

But I think that'd be only if she were a guy... :P

maybe her DH peeked in the thread then! :lol: :P

Sand :whip: :whip: Cherie :whip: :whip:

I plead total and complete INNOCENCE!! ;)

got the response I was looking for :whistle:

Me too! Rosie knows that you and I need these whippings to keep us satisfied in line! ;) :P
