There are 3 things that should work, make sure the carpet dries completely before trying the next technique. Do not try the store purchased carpet spot cleaners, different stains need to be treated differently, there is no universal cleaner, certain spot cleaners can actually set the stain in making it permanent
1. Blot with an Acetone-based nail polish remover.
2. Blot solution of 1 teaspoon maximum of liquid hand dish washing detergent per cup of lukewarm water.
3.Blot with a solution of 2 tablespoons of household ammonia per cup of water. Blot with lukewarm water with a white towel.
Be sure to blot, do not rub or you will be pushing the stain further into the carpet
If this does not work, you will need to call a professional out and have them clean it. Be sure to tell them what all you have treated the area with so his chemicals do not react with what you put on it.

Find an area in the same carpet that will always be under or behind something, such as a door. Cut out the stained area and cut an identical patch from the concealed area. Exchange the stained patch for the clean. Or just recarpet the entire space.

Initially I would try Vanish or some washing up liquid, if that did not help I would call a steam cleaning contractor. They have stronger chemicals and bigger machines for getting rid of these stains.

You might try goof off- it great with paint etc,so it might work- try Lowes or Home Depot or Walmart- or a similar product- its a bit smelly but I have never had a problem with it- test a small area first in the closet or something to make sure!
