    Be glad it was soy milk. Regular milk would be harder and a smell would set in by now.

    Resolve makes a very powerful carpet cleaner and deodorizer that will pull coffee and the stain residue very well. Work it in and let it sit, then vacuum it up. You could try rewetting the stain and working things into it, but after a week, it’s probably better to just work from the surface down.

    don;t use anything w/ soap, soap is a dirt attractant and will continnue to attract the dirt to the spot. It is IMPOSSIBLE to rinse all the soap out of carpet fibers. I would say call ChemDry!!

    Remove carpet stains

    You can lift out many stains from your carpet with vinegar:
    Rub light carpet stains with a mixture of 2 tablespoons salt dissolved in 1/2 cup white vinegar. Let the solution dry, then vacuum.

    For larger or darker stains, add 2 tablespoons borax to the mixture and use in the same way.

    For tough, ground-in dirt and other stains, make a paste of 1 tablespoon vinegar with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and rub it into the stain using a dry cloth. Let it set for two days, then vacuum.

    To make spray-on spot and stain remover, fill a spray bottle with 5 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Fill a second spray bottle with 1 part nonsudsy ammonia and 5 parts water. Saturate a stain with the vinegar solution. Let it settle for a few minutes, then blot thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth. Then spray and blot using the ammonia solution. Repeat until the stain is gone.

    Baby Wipes

    Use a baby wipe to blot up coffee spills from your rug or carpet; it absorbs both the liquid and the stain. Wipes can also be effectively deployed when attacking various spills and drips on your clothing and upholstered furniture.

    Beer

    Getting that coffee or tea stain out your rug may seem impossible, but you can literally lift it out by pouring a bit of beer right on top. Rub the beer lightly into the material, and the stain should disappear. You may have to repeat the process a couple of times to remove all traces of the stain

    Carpet shampoo should work. You can get spot treatment at most hardware and grocery stores in the cleaning aisle. Both elements are water based, so it should not be a huge project.
