How do I get a turkey grease stain out of my carpet?

Question

Last Thanksgiving we fried a turkey and some of the grease was accidently spilled on the carpet (I'm still trying to figure out how that happened). We are moving and I need to get that stain out. I've tried many stain removers, but I'm tired of paying for something that doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas??

Hi
This type of stain is one of the hardest to get out the carpet.
I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pour hot almost boiling water (from a kettle) on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, (this will open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre releasing the stain. and remove the residue from the carpet).
If the stain is still visible than try putting Dawn dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. Dampen the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat step one. After this you should rinse the area again with the wet vac and hot water. If this doesn’t work try using orange glo or even 409. The most important thing to do is rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water from a kettle to remove all the reside, or the spot may come back.

Only as a last resort if you have rubbing alcohol Blot the chemical onto the spot and then remove with a towel and repeat, keep on doing this until stain is gone or you stop getting colour transfer. Then rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water to remove all the reside,

Please be careful with what product you uses (neutral PH carpet cleaning solution is best). Please DO NOT put anything on the carpet that was not made for carpet.

Answer 3

Apply a layer of baking soda to the affected area, then add a quarter cup of vinegar. This will cause great foaming action. Let sit for five minutes, then wipe up with a damp cloth. That always does the trick for us.
