Remove loose material carefully
Lift solid pieces with a blunt edge or spoon without pushing them into the pile. Do not scrape with a sharp tool or rub the area.
Blot fresh residue
Use a clean absorbent cloth and light pressure to take up surface moisture. Work from the edge toward the centre so you do not spread the mark; stop if colour transfers or the pile changes.
Check the carpet and product instructions
Identify the carpet care label if possible. Use only a product labelled for that material and follow its directions; do not combine cleaners, powders, solvents or household ingredients by guesswork.
Ask for an assessment when the mark remains
Tell a carpet-cleaning provider what was spilled, when it happened and what you have tried. Permanent colour change, worn pile or a mark that has reached the backing may need a different assessment and may not be removable by cleaning.
