[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 127024, member: 1991"] Spaghetti sauce - the colour will fade eventually, in the light. You can also use those oxygen enzyme soaker things to try shift it. Sugar - it needs to be washed out until the sticky is gone. Soak, dry. Soak, dry. But only if the carpet is fully synthetic. A jute backing can stain a pale carpet. I usually get the difficult child to at least begin to clean it (their mess, after all). If I spill something onto the carpet, I clean it. So should they. Flatmates' rules. I had a flatmate once (there were six of us) who would get himself a snack and leave a nasty mess. He also (as a result of that mess) inflicted his ghastly tastes on us. His favourite after-uni snack was bread with honey and Vegemite. He wouldn't wipe the knife off between dips, so there would be swirls of Vegemite in the honey jar, and drips of honey in the Vegemite. It made both, totally inedible (and so also wasted food). He would then leave the knife covered in butter, honey and Vegemite, glued to the kitchen table. I moved out. Marg [/QUOTE]
