Dropped My Cake--Advice For Cleaning Carpet?
Lounge By cakegirl1973 Updated 25 Nov 2010 , 1:11am by costumeczar
Hello! Just dropped my Thanksgiving cake (white with BC) on the carpeting. I am makng a bigger mess trying to clean it up. The soapy water is just making a big BC paste. How best to clean this up? TIA!
Hi cakegirl, do you own a shammy? It's this spongey bright orange cloth (made in Germany) that soaks up ANYTHING so long as it's dampened. That's what I use, works every time, red wine, fizzy drinks, anything. If you don't, use an alternative, something absorbent? I really don't know what else, sorry? All the best!
We have a black lab in our house. That usually does the trick
You're going to need to have it professionally cleaned, or at the very least rent a carpet cleaner. Lots and lots of hot water! Over and over and over.
I would pick up as much of it as possible with paper towels, then sprinkle corn starch over the grease spots and rub it in, then vacuum it up and repeat. You'll need to let it dry before you can try that though.

robinmarie, our black lab was nicknamed Hoover and not for Herbert

cakegirl383, some Oxyclean might do the trick. Mix it with hot water and soak the spot then suck it up with a carpet cleaner or shop vac. I'm sorry about your cake.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Dry it out as much as possible. Coincidentally, I also did a review of some carpet cleaning spray on my blog today. If there's a stain this stuff will get it out. http://acaketorememberva.blogspot.com/2010/11/another-product-review-folex-spray.html
