Tomato Soup a la Medium Shag

Apr 06, 2004 3 Replies

Spawn, my youngest daughter-unit, was dining on her current favorite food, tomato soup, in a room that is forbidden to have food in it. Predictably, this combination netted a spilled soup in the medium cut shag. Her attempts to clean up the spill did little else than to rub it deeper into the carpet. I have a foam pad under the carpet that I know is holding a portion. I've treated it with warm water and mild soap, damp-mopped it, towel dried it, and the stain remains. Other ideas would most certainly be welcomed!

Try an oxygen product such as OxiClean. There's a new product by Woolite that is an oxygen spray that may work well, although I have not tried this one yet. Test the product on an inconspicuous area first! If you don't have a carpet shampoo machine, a wet/dry shop vac works well to extract the rinse. Keep off the area until it completely dries.

I'd probably try Oxiclean. There's a new version in a spray bottle that is much more convenient than that stuff that needs mixing.

Hi Ranger,

Try this combination, it should work.

1.. Glycerin (20% solution) 2.. Acetic Acid (35% solution 1:2 acid to water) 3.. Hydrogen Peroxide
