Guinness / Carpet / Help!

[yamitd]

Hi - Knocked over a glass of Guinness on my new carpet last night which doesn't seem to fade no matter how much I scrub.

Any ideas?

I would rent an extraction carpet cleaning machine. Make sure to get the upholstery attachment and use it on the spot. I would use plain water in the machine. Many carpets are colorfast even with the use of Clorox. If the extraction machine (like the Rug Doctor) doesn't fully eliminate the stain, test an inconspicuous spot, like in a closet, with a solution of chlorine bleach. If it doesn't change the color, that will probably work to remove the stain. If that makes you nervous, you can try a spot remover for carpet like Resolve.

I use ACT stain brake'r one step. I got it from my carpet store but is available by 800-741-3472 (advanced chemical technologies, inc., newnan, GA). It is really great on non-petroleum stains. It says on the label pet stains, grease, chocolate, cola, iodine, fuit juices, alchohol, blood, cold coffee, tea, makeup, shoe polish and much more.
