Any advice? It’s not a lot but it’s fresh so what can I do?!

Make up a solution of biological washing powder. Blot with a cloth don't rub it.

Ummm... everything OK at yours?

And use cold water! Heat will set it and it’ll never come out.

TheChosenTwo · 19/04/2020 11:09

Actually I think I’ve fixed it! Just used a cold wet cloth and dabbed and dabbed, went over it with a dry cloth dabbing and kept going until it had disappeared. Hopefully it will look okay when it’s dry.
Useful to know about the washing powder though, I’m rubbish with things like this!
I panicked as the carpet is fairly new and didn’t want to wreck it, I did remember to use cold as hot sets stains (someone told me this!) and to dab not scrub at it.

Damn, I though this was going to be a True Crime Live Thread.

Sympathy for the horrible period though OP

Phew! Thought this was the conclusion to one of those ‘DH is driving me crazy’ threads...
