My 3 yr old son dumped 4 or 5 bottles of cologne out on the carpeted floor. The smell is so overpowering it's sickening. I've tried a lot of different products to mask the odor or to neutralize it. Nothing seems to work! Help!

Maybe shake baking soda on it and leave it overnight...or for a few days. If that doesn't work, vinegar is an odor neutralizer and only smells like pickles until it's completely dry. You could try that, but it'll take a few days to dry out the pad too.

They have odor neutralizing things like neutra air. They are located in the sections that sell air fresheners. Baking soda may be less expensive and work well. It absorbs odors. Pour the soda on the carpet and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then vacuum it up. After doing that you may still want to spray some neutra air. You may want to repeat the baking soda application.
KEEP AWAY FROM PETS! Before you vacuum be sure that all pets are away. Baking soda can kill them.

That much has probably sunken through the carpet into the carpet foam below... You'll probably have to steam clean it... Be sure to use some Arm & Hammer baking soda to help take out the smell...

Go spend $20 for an overnight Rug Doctor Steam cleaner and get the spot with the steam cleaner....then when completely dry, use arm and hammer vacum powder...

Try using white vinegar. Soak a sponge or a big towel in it and let set for about 1 hour, then sponge up the excess water. Repeat as necessary.

Rent a carpet cleaning machine from your local grocery store or at wal-mart. Its only like 25 dollars and you can use it for a day or two.

first, deep clean the carpet with a power scrubber and then spray . . use a product like FeBreze afterward for any remaining scent . . the carpet scrubber should do the trick

Try Vinegar (white) and water. I was going to say use lysol but you mentioned the smell was overpowering.

If all else fails, you can always just replace the carpet as a last resort.
