How to clean cheese from your carpet

1. Scrape out any dried pieces and chucks using the edge of a metal spoon or a dull knife.
2. To get the rest of the cheese, mix up a tablespoon of clear ammonia with about half a cup of water.
3. Use a spray bottle to apply this to the spot. The mixture will neutralize the acids, reduce potential odour problems, and (hopefully) remove the stain.
4. Blot the moisture with white paper towels or a white cotton cloth, and repeat the process until there is no more transfer of the stain to the cloth.
5. Try to keep the mixture from soaking down to the bottom of the carpet. Rinse with water afterward several times blotting up the water each time.
6. If there is still some cheese or odour remaining (you may have to use your nose to determine this), make a mixture of a few drops of dish washing detergent (plain blue Dawn is perhaps the safest) and a cup of water.
7. Apply and blot this several times until you see no more stain transfer. Rinse with water as above.
8. Dry the area with a weighted stack of white paper towels. Remove these and use a fan or open window to move some air around to finish the drying.
