    I suspect pretty strongly that you can’t remove it. A stain meant to penetrate wood is going to penetrate fiber easily.

    I’d get a scrub brush and make suds in the blender (out of dish soap), then scrub the suds, not the water, into the stained area, but I wouldn’t really expect it to do anything more that lighten slightly.

    I hope I’m wrong, though!

    If you have any excess carpet or a peice from the closet a carpet installer could cut out the damaged area & seam in a new peice.

    Furniture is one of the toughest stains to remove. Even the lightest contamination can be permanent. We often run into stains that bleed from furniture to carpet due to wet carpet and it hardly comes out.

    This is one definitely for a professional assuming it is very light. You would need to find someone who uses Pro’s Choice cleaning products and are very familiar with their stain removal products.

    You would probably be better off not attempting cleaning and patchin the carpet or finding a carpet dye company.

    I had to do a test first, but here is what worked for me in the end…. I was refinishing a very light oak table… with a very dark red mahogany stain… I thought i protected every feasible inch that any stain could access… wrong.. I put some paint thinner in an eyedropper, and dropped a drip right in the center of it… as it was an oil based wood stain, science tells me, oil doesnt want to be near any other liquids that arent emulsified into it… this stain was 2 weeks old by time i found it, and lo and behold… the stain ran… well.. moved away from the thinner… after making sure this process wouldnt change my carpet color, I first.. made a circle with the eyedropper 1 inch around the entirety of the stain… (which was about the size of a quarter..)… and then proceeded to fill in the gap between the outer circle and stain edge… once on the stain.. concentrated drips directly in the center… so now my stain was being barraged from both directions… and since objects will move in the path of least resistance,,, if you concentrated enough thinner in the center… the least resistance should be… up.! Grab your handy dandy plastic gloves, and some q-tips… place q-tip in the center of the stain that has started retreating.. and try your hardest to roll that q-tip UNDER the lifting stain… I had a particularly light coloured carpet and had to use 2 q-tips and with each strand of fabric, roll the q-tips on either side.. from the bottom up… catching the stain… 2 fresh q-tips and work next section… do not reuse q-tips or you will just re-introduce the stain into the lower pile of the carpet, and from there its “new carpet” time, or cover it with a ottoman kind of day….. good luck
