    Default Try "Blue Gold" it's absolutely amazing . . .

    I bought a gallon of this stuff for $17, and it takes out anything:

    You can use it on anything that is safe to wipe down with water. I was covered in grease from head to toe after spending 3 days under the car doing the transmission swap and put a few ounces in with the laundry soap to wash my Levis and it took every spec of grease out of them as if I had never worn them.

    Default Before you use the "heavy" stuff.....

    I would hold off on hairspray and lighterfluid until you exhaust the water based stuff... try windex first....

    Starter Fluid, Starter Fluid, Starter Fluid....


    Ancient Chinese secret! Don't be afraid, it works! Apply liberally and let sit for a little bit (15 seconds) and wipe clean with absorbant cloth...repeat as needed.

    Absolutely NO lighters or matches....

    I had my carpet cleaned recently and talked to the guys about what they use. Form what they told me there are a couple of critical elements. Heat and an evaporating cleaning agent. This place used an alchohal based cleaning solution. You need to be careful that wharever you put into the carpet you can get out, otherwise it will attract dirt and continue to show the stain. My dad's neighboor has a carpet cleaning service. He did my car one with his hand wand. You might want to contact a carpet cleaning service and have them treat the stain and clean your carpet.

    Default home depot has Zep brand solvent based carpet

    cleaner that is great on spots. Spray it on, and blot the stain until gone. 3 dogs, 6 cats, 3 horses... we use it a lot (unfortunately!)
    Always test the surface for colorfastness first.
