I accidentally dropped my contact lens case and the solution spilt on my white carpet. Now there’s a light brown stain there. I’ve used a few stain removers w/ no luck. I’ve searched and haven’t found any solutions online after it has already dried. Any ideas?

    Wow, I was told that many of those solutions have a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and that would have lightened the area. Anyway, here is my suggestion(s). I would do a double or triple rinsing of the area before trying any other attempts. I have had some really good luck with Oxi-clean and you could dissolve it in a half strength solution and then make it stronger on second try. The solution could have reacted with chemicals left in the carpet from cleaning. Or you could try using a mild dilution of dish soap like Ivory follow with a white vinegar rinse. If it is a throw rug you could also apply fresh lemon juice and put out in the full sun for an afternoon. My grandmother used to do that and it worked and even without the lemons! I would be tempted to send an email to the manufacturer to find out what would cause the brown spot. After all you this is something you are using on your body in the first place. Best of luck!
