Aagh, have I ruined our carpet?

So I dropped coffee on the runner going up stairs. In fact on this step there was hardly any but I tried to clean it up - used a bit of bicarb soda, some white vinegar and washing up liquid.

But - it's still drying - there's this large yellow looking patch! I have no idea why.

What have I done and what can I do?

I have a Vax spot washer for things like this! I bought it for about £100 when we had a cream carpet fitted and it’s been a godsend.

this clearly doesnt help much on this case but could you beg, borrow or steal one from someone? Because that’s what you need - to wet the stain and add a little cleaner / detergent and then suck it all up with a spot clean machine
