Aahh! My four year old has somehow managed to get Nutella all over the carpet (oatmeal coloured). I'm too scared to touch it in case I make it worse... anyone know what I should do?
Thanks

Lick it!

Seriously though, I'm afraid I've no idea. Do you have 1001 Carpet Stain remover?? I find that works really well on mine.

From a stain removal website...

Chocolate- Stain Removal on Carpet and Upholstery

----------------

  1. Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent (a mild
    detergent containing no alkalies or bleaches) with a cup
    of luke-warm water. Blot.

  2. Mix one tablespoon of household ammonia with a half-
    cup of water. Blot.

  3. Repeat step one.

  4. Sponge with clean water. Blot.

There are stain removal websites????

SamboM - That sounds awfully complicated. What detergents are there in the home that are not Alkaline of bleach based?

I know this might sound strange but I've found that 'wet wipes' seem to remove everything. Could be worth a try!

I have no idea M2T! I just looked up stain removal chocolate and loads of websites came up!

There are indeed stain removal websites, such as Howtocleananything.com so you could try searching there if you're still not sure.
