Answer 1

uh oh, using the carpet cleaner may have made it worse:

"What do I do if I spill Pepto-Bismol and it leaves a stain?
* For carpet stains, please note: If your carpet has a manufacturer's warranty, you need to contact the manufacturer for their stain removal instructions before you attempt to remove the stain. The manufacturer can refuse to honor the warranty if you use something other than what they recommend.

Pepto-Bismol Liquid Staining
* If the carpet does not have a stain warranty, proceed with the following recommendations.
The stain should be treated as promptly as possible.
The stain should be blotted with a cloth (e.g., a white cotton towel or white paper towel) that has been dipped in warm water (100°F). Continue blotting until the stain is no longer transferring to the cloth. DO NOT RUB STAIN. Rubbing spreads the stain and makes it penetrate deeper into the carpet.
Any remaining stain should be treated with hydrogen peroxide. Pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain and blot (DO NOT RUB) the area with a clean, white cloth. Rinse cloth often in cool water and continue blotting until no further stain can be removed. Blot dry with a dry cloth (club soda may be used instead of hydrogen peroxide).

** NOTE: Hydrogen peroxide or club soda should be tested in an inconspicuous area of the carpet to be sure the dyes are colorfast.

Pepto-Bismol Caplet and Tablet Staining
These products are a dry, solid dose form and should not stain fabric unless they become wet. Treatment recommendation is the same as the one used for Pepto-Bismol Liquid. "

That's from the company help site, if you can't get the stain out, cut it out and cut a patch from an unseen carpet area......in the closet....whereverand put stained piece where you cut the patch. Use double sided carpet tape to hold the patches.

Do not, I say do not try resolve or a steam cleaner on the carpet until you take s few steps first. I do not know the reason why but cut a fresh lemon and add salt to the stain. Message it with your finger tips and finish it off with a last burst of lemon. wait 15 minutes and then hit it with a water only steam cleaner. If you treat it first with Resolve etc, it will not come clean all the way. You will not believe it. My carpet is high priced and I thought it was gone. Do not try to clean it with carpet cleaners first,

use Easy off Bang to scrub the stain out n then dry the carpet in sunlight.
