| My white carpet is RUINED! I am in tears right now! I don't even know what the heck to do! I have WHITE!!!! Carpet! And I now have a HUGE!!!! Pink spot right in the middle of the entry way!!!! its centered right at the entrance to my kitchen, front door and living room and hallway!!! You cant miss it no matter where you are!!!! And it would not be a good place for a BIG PLANT! Who do I call??? WALLMART??? The HUMMING BIRD FOOD PEOPLE??? This is soooooooo NOT MY FAULT! I hit PetCo and Wallmart.... (my Buddies so scored!!!) And I bought a humming bird feeder ar Wallmart and two bottles of Humming bird food. I came home and set 4 shopping bags down in my entryway and went to let the girls out of their crates. We went outside to potty! (and they both did!!!! Yeah Girls!) Then we came in, I put the girls in the kitchen and went to retrieve the said bags. when I lifted them up I screamed! Really! I actually screamed! There was a dessert plate sized circle of red on my white carpet! I have been spraying it with plain water for an hour and blotting it with white towels... yes I have now ruined most of my nice white towels... And now all I have is a big pink spot! I am just in tears! I never expected the bottle to leak! Why would it???? I bought two of them, the other was just fine! the were in two separate bags... and they were in bags all by themselves! What the heck can I do about it??? This pink spot is NOT coming out!

| I would start by calling both!! It should not have leaked that's horrible! In the meantime, take pictures and keep trying to get the stain out. Hubby bought Resolve at the store on time and he swears by it now.. Try that. |

| Do you have any of that oxy stuff? I have a spray bottle of oxy cleaner that is by Clorox that I pick up at Dollar General for $1.50. I would even try mixing the powdered laundry stuff with water and try it. As a very last resort, since your carpet is already white I would mix a small amount of bleach with water and lightly try that. (you might try an out of the way place first). I would probably try a shampooer first and after trying any of these other things. Good luck.

| You could try some of that OXY cleaner, we use it for spots where Yoda has thrown up with good results. We have a cream-colored carpet as well as an Oriental rug. It's worked fine for us, good luck! |

| It says right on the darn bottle Red dye will stain bla bla bla.... no kidding! What it does not say is, Our bottles suck and we can't guarantee that our red dye will stay in them! At least its pink now and not the hooker red it was an hour ago!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Well...Look at the Light Side - the YORKIE DIDN'T DO IT ? I'm kidding ....and I know you're really upset - thats awful. I think you should try the Oxy Cleaner and Quick. The sooner you get to it the better. The other alternative you have is thinking about something to cover it up because everything is hard to get out of white carpet....especially if it's a grey white or a pink white - all white is NOT White. I wish I had more help for you - What Fiber is the Carpet ? |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Oh, no! I like the oxyclean idea. I hope it works. Also, I'd contact one of those carpet cleaning people. They may be able to help.

| Do you have any left over carpet?? You can replace just that spot. I had to do that when I was in a APT. A bottle of bleach got on my tan carpet and turned it a brown color. I called the carpet cleaner place and they did it for like $60.00 or something like that. It was not very much. Depends on how big the spot is. It blends right in, if they do it right. |

| Sorry to hear this! I just saw something on tv, I can't remember what it's called, but it's a device that you fill with solution and there are rotating brushes on the bottom. You just set it on the stain and half an hour later it's gone! Has anyone else seen this ad? I'll try to remember. In the meantime, don't put any more water on the stain. |

| I had white carpet and actually used clorox on it. IF you do this, try it first in a out of the way spot like behind the furniture in a corner. Also, I have the SPOTBOT and it is awesome for cleaning spots on carpet.

That is what I was going to suggest. If all else fails this should be able to be done. Hope everything works out for you.

Also, one time when I spilled CHERRY KoolAid on my white carpet I called the carpet cleaning company and they have this stuff called RED OUT. It's not cheap but it does work. I think it cost like $159.00. I guess if it is important to you no cost is too much. Good Luck.
