How to get Salsa out of carpet?!
Answers: My friend spilled mango habanero salsa all over my new carpet during the super bowl. He didn’t tell me about it until after the game and the stain has set in deep. Any ideas on getting deep rooted salsa out of new carpet. The carpet type is medium twist snow owl white blend, if that helps. Thank you for your answers.
Tools & Chemicals:
Dish washing or fine fabric detergent, white terry towels, white vinegar, warm water, measuring cup, spoon, vacuum.
Technique:
Work on removing the stain as soon as you notice it. The longer the stain is left on the carpet the greater the chances are of the stain setting.
In every case remove all excess wet or dry material before attempting to clean. Blot wet materials using a white terry towel (check helpful hints for a detailed description of blotting). Vacuum excess dry materials or gently scrape up materials with a spoon.
Mix 1/2 tsp. of dish washing soap or fine fabric detergent into 1 (8 oz.)cup of warm water.
Apply a small amount, blot or tamp and repeat until the stain is removed. Be patient. Complete removal may reqiure repeating the same step several times. Tamp down on the carpet, do not scrub as this may disort the texture of the pile.
Cover the stain with the towel and press down repeatedly to absorb the stain material and detergent.
Once the stain is completely removed, rinse the area with cold water; blot with a dry white terry towel until all moisture is removed. Repeat this process several times to remove cleaning solution residue. (Residue can attract soils).
If the spot or stain turns brownish when dry, mix 1 part white vinegar and two parts water. Apply a small amount and blot. Repeat only once.
Precautions:
Never use a stronger concentration than is recommended. Never laundry detergent or automatic dish washing detergents because they may destroy or dye some fibers.

I don't know why this is under the Beer, Wine & Spirits catagory, but I'll still help you out. Spray Woolite over the entire area and scrub it with one of those scrub-brush things and dry it with a towel. Put a lot of pressure on the towel when you dry it.. If that doesnt work, try this stuff from the dollar store called "Awesome." Spray the area with that and do the same thing that you did with the Woolite. And if that doesn't work either, buy a rug.
