How do I get eggs and flour out of my carpet

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Parents away for 2 weeks and my carpet has been turned into a giant omlette and there's what must be a whole bag of flour grounded into it and 3 or 4 eggs cracked on it and crunched up pringles. I've hoovered up the worst of it but because the flour got wet it's all stuck to the carpet, I tried to wipe it up with a cloth but all I had was kitchen cleaner and that's made it worse! Surely there must be some kind of stain remover that'll do the trick? Bo Selecta!

My God what were you eating?

ah-hah *reads again* Eggs, flour and pringles. Nice.

Important - Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings provided by the carpet manufacturer. Rugs and carpets with natural fibers and/or certain dyes may require special treatment. If in doubt contact a cleaning professional for advice/service. Also follow these General Rules for stain treatment.



Remove as much of the excess liquid or dried stain as possible by using a spoon or dull knife. Then blot up as much of the stain as possible using a blotting motion.

Neutralize by spraying the affected area with an ammonia solution (1 tablespoon of clear household ammonia and 1/2 cup of water). Care should be taken to remove all protein matter.

Apply a small quantity of detergent solution to the spot. (To make the detergent solution mix 1/4 teaspoon of a hand dish washing detergent which does not contain lanolin or bleach with 1 quart of water; examples of safe detergents are Dawn® and Joy®.) Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area. If spot is being removed continue applying detergent and blotting with a white paper towel until spot is removed.

Rinse with tap water using a spray bottle, blot to remove excess moisture.

Spray lightly with water, do not blot this time; apply pad of paper towels and brick and allow to dry.

If there is still some stain on the carpet and blotting is not removing it, then moisten the tufts in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let stand for on (1) hour. Blot and repeat until carpet is stain free. Light will cause peroxide to change back to water so no rinsing is necessary. Apply pad of paper towels and weight down with brick.

Harvey we weren't eating, we were fighting with them

Deano there must be an easier way. Hydrogen Peroxide

 

[Harvey]

I hope you were taking notes there.

 

[jonnyboylennon]

Spunk on it, wait for it to dry, and srape it off with a plastic fork you filthy bastard.

 

[BrightonBird]

Goodness sake - I'm sure you must have realised it wasn't a good idea to have an egg and flour fight at the time.

There is no easy way, Danny - that's your weekend sorted then.

Cover the offending area with a rug/table/sofa and hope no-one notices.
