Hello,
I stupidly spilt some tea last night on our carpet at home on the stairs, there was not a lot spilt, but so far efforts to clean the spillage has left the area where the tea was split looking like a larger area of off-colour carpet.
It's pretty obvious there was a stain there, let's put it that way!
I was hoping the good citizens of OCUK would have some tips or ideas on how I might tackle this stain and leave it looking more like it should do.
The carpet feels like some kind of nylon mixed fabric, it definitely doesn't feel like it's entirely wool, it was here when we moved in around 3 years ago. This is the closest picture I can currently find to how it looks, the colour is even pretty similar (though ours looks a bit lighter):
I've tried Vanish carpet cleaner in the past but it doesn't work on our carpet, it just changes the colour of the carpet instead.
I am only renting so don't really want to go replacing the whole carpet to fix this, considering the carpet has been here probably since the house was built 10 years ago, and we've been using it for 3 years. It has a few other stains on it but not ones I have caused, and generally not in plain sight on the stairs either.
Thanks for reading!
