Hi, need help with cleaning coffee (with cream & sugar) stain from carpet

[A]

Hi,

I sound so silly, just asking this question! :)

I read some where that cleaning stains of coffee that has no milk and sugar in it is different from cleaning stains of coffee that has milk and sugar in it!

I spilled coffee on my carpet yesterday, there are 4 spots, each about

3 or 4" in diameter. It's very light colored carpet. I also made the mistake of rubbing with wet paper towels, instead of just blotting (know this after the fact, b'coz of googliing). Anyway, I also tried mixing dish washing detergent in water and rubbing it into the stains. That didn't do anything.

Anyone has any idea on what I can do to get these stains off the carpet now? oxyclean + water? or vinegar + water or spotshot chemical solutions?

I am not sure if I can try different things, I am afraid of spoiling the carpet.

Appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!

spill som coffee on the carpet in a closet where it won't show. Then try different things/experiment on that spot. If you ruin the carpet in the closet, it won't be a big deal. Then when you find out what works, you can use it on the exposed spots. BTW, this is alt.HVAC, not alt.carpet cleaming. How did you post here?
