My daughter got a styling head from ELC this christmas that came with a lipstick which on christmas day she decided to smear on my cream rug. I went to clean up the stain straight away with a stain remover but that didn't work so i borrowed my mums bissel carpet cleaner and that hasn't worked either. She later spilt orange juice on it and that has also stained despite my best efforts. The rug has now had two more cleans with the carpet cleaner and despite the rest of the rug looking very clean, the stains remain. I wouldn't mind except it was an expensive rug. Does anyone have any ideas?

Jelly - Try shaving foam, then clean off with a damp cloth.
Hello, Try using OxiClean which is meant for the washing machine, BUT mix ONE scoop of it in a small bowl with some hot water, using a j cloth scrub the rug with quite a lot of the water and foam. This should work - it cleaned up a whole mug of coffee off of my cream carpet. Just don't use too much because it's quite effective. If you do use too much and it looks like it's bleeched your rug, don't worry, it wouldn't have done, just add more water to the area when it's dried and rinse out any ecess oxiclean.
