Use enough of the mixture to saturate the stained area. Using a cloth, gently pat the stain from the edges and work your way to the center. Once at the center of the stain, gently tug upwards as if pinching the stain away.

Rinse out the spray bottle and ensure there is no dishwashing solution in it. Fill the bottle with lukewarm water. Spray the stained area lightly. Blot the wet area until as dry as possible. Continue to spray with lukewarm water and blot until dry until the stain is removed or improved, and there is no longer any detergent residue on the carpet stain.
