How to remove a colour stain from your carpet

1. To avoid the problem, clean up spills and stains as soon as you can after they occur.

2. If you have scraps saved from the original installation, you can cut out the stain, cut a piece of scrap to match the size of your hole, and glue it into place. Have a professional do this if you are not comfortable with the job - or try it first and then hire someone to clean up your mess if it doesn't work out. If you don't have any pieces of the carpeting from the original installation, you can cut a small piece out from the back of a closet, where it won't be noticed.

3. If the stain is small you might get by with carefully snipping out the damaged fibres and gluing new ones in their place. Again, you can cut some fibres out for this from the back corner of a closet that has the same carpet. Carefully apply glue at the base of the fibres where you snipped out the stained ones, and use tweezers to push the new fibres into place. Let this dry overnight, and if there is any unevenness, trim the tops.

4. Removing as much of the staining substance as you can might be enough to make many permanent stains unnoticeable, so try cleaning and removal remedies before taking the steps above. Finally, you can always hide any permanent stain in carpet by putting a rug or a piece of furniture over it.
