A few days ago DH spent hours making a delicious home cooked curry [he's an excellent cook]. Unfortunately we managed to knock a bowl from the table onto CREAM CARPET.
You can imagine the scene.
Curry chaos.
Had some stain remover that usually works for everything [and has worked on curry before if you get it straight away] and it seemed to work hooray. Came down the next morning and parts of the stain seem to have cleaned and gone a bit light but the stain is now bigger than it was with curry staining around the edges where there wasn't any marks previously?!
Am assuming this is wicking that's happening but am I best to just leave it now and hope it fades a bit or treat the 'wicking' bit of the stain with the same cleaner?
It's a rental, OF COURSE. And am keen not to lose my deposit when we eventually go. Can't afford a professional carpet cleaner now but good god does it look awful. Dark in places [still damp], clean in others, bit too clean in others. In daylight it doesn't look AS bad but in the evening under the lamp light DEAR GOD.
Help me Mumsnetters, you're my only hope!
