I feel sick ( rented house + massive deposit at stake!)

I don't know where it came from tbh, I'm holding DS responsible
It just appeared! I assume it is fake tan because it smells tannish- there was no guilty bottle lying around though- my boy sure can cover his tracks!

Please, please help!

try baking soda on damp cloth and leave over night then use vanish cleaner for strong stain like red wine and should have it up

carpet cleaner called 1001 has always removed all stains for me, sold in supermarkets.

Oooh, I feel for you!

I'd say vanish oxy-whatnot and lots of dabbing.
Is there such a thing as fake-tan remover for your body? Would that work?

can also get from 99p stores as they sell it too .

fake tan off your skin is lemon and sugar and then rub it sister is beauty person who taught me that .

Thankyou crankytwanky < accepts gin gratefully!>

Sods law, I have an inspection next week before my tenancy is renewed!

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'm off to get me some baking powder now...
I think I have some 1001, so will put that on in the morning- and will hopefully have good news tomorrow!

I did this in old house. Nothing got it out and some things made it worse. In the end we put a table there, but you cant always do this. What a pain, I know how you feel. Let us know how you get on.

Weeelll it has slightly faded- more yellow than orange now!
I've been very bad and shaved the carpet a little bit too

Going to give it another spray tonight, and hoping it magically vanishes overnight!
