My housekeeper spilled honey mustard sauce over an area of about a square yard of tan carpeting. Has anyone ever gone to the mat and got mustard out? I a crippled and can't try much, she feels worse! Naturally it isnt my house.

    Use "incredible"

    I know it is sold at some Krogers and Bed Bath and Beyond

    It can get anything out and removes smells too

    Lie down a rug. It not only looks good, but it's confortable to lie on.

    first you blotch it out, and then you use oxy clean, and then you rinse it and then it should be clean.

    sprinkle baking soda on it
    then slowly pour white vinegar over the baking soda, a little at a time
    it will foam
    after the foaming has gone down scrub…if it dosent go completly away it will at least fade it
    dawn dishwashing liquid will also help

    Mix 1 teaspoon mild dishwashing detergent with a cup of lukewarm water. Apply small amounts of the cleaning solution with a clean, white, absorbent towel. Blot frequently and continue to apply and blot until the staining material is no longer transferred to the absorbent material. If stain remains, mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup of water. Apply using the same technique as with the detergent. If stain still remains, mix a solution of cool water and a product containing enzymes following direction on the label or box. Some laundry detergents contain enzymes. Cover the stain with a cloth drenched in the solution and allow to remain on the stain for the length of time recommended by the manufacturer. Rinse the area with clean water. Blot dry.

    I hate to be a killjoy but I find that mustard is one stain I can't get out, simply because mustard takes the color out of fabrics.

    PUT ANY TYPE OF CLEANSER ON THE STAIN THEN TAKE A CLOTH OR AN OLD TOWEL, WET THE TOWEL OR CLOTH PUT IT OVER THE STAIN, THEN PUT A HOT IRON ON THE TOWEL OR CLOTH THE STEAM FROM THE IRON ACTUALLY LIFTS THE STAIN UP…. IF ALL FAILS JUST PUT A RUG OVER IT.
