Dilute It
Once you’ve blotted up as much excess liquid as possible, you may notice that some colouring remains on the carpet. This will be especially true of wine, urine and coffee. In that case, pour some plain warm water (only as much as necessary) directly onto the carpet, and blot it again. Do this is as many times as necessary to get out the colour. If the colour remains, consider hiring a professional carpet cleaner as soon as possible.
Dry It
