Use paper towels and dab the stain until the paper towel comes up dry.

Step 2
Mix a quarter cup of liquid detergent with a half cup of cold water. Use a washcloth and dab the stain lightly with the mixture. Rub the area with the washcloth allowing the cleaning fluid to penetrate the carpet. Let the stain sit with the detergent on it for about 15 minutes.

If the stain is still visible, mix a tablespoon of vinegar and three tablespoons of water. Take a washcloth and dab the stain with the vinegar liquid and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes.

Wet a washcloth with warm water and dab the stained area to pick up the remaining soda and vinegar. Continue dabbing the area until the cloth is clean.
