NorCal Pro Tip: Do not over saturate the carpet.  Water is the only substnce you can add directly to the carpet

Step 4: If plain water does not remove the candy stain use the Dawn-water solution. Apply the solution to a clean white cloth and blot the stain. Continue to blot until the stain is removed.

NorCal Pro Tip: Blot the stain in one direction starting from the edge of the stain working your way to the center. This will prevent spreading the stain onto other carpet fibers.

Step 5: Rinse with water by spraying the dampened area. Blot the area with plain white paper towels to remove the excess moisture from the carpet.

Step 6: Layer several paper towels onto the stain and place a small heavy object on the paper towels to draw out any remaining moisture and to prevent wicking.
