Safest way to get purple eyeshadow out of the carpet?

Damn, it was only a matter of time - spilling my powered eyeshadow on the carpet that seems to stain when you sneeze on it.





How can I clean it without getting it into the carpet? It's a very thin one, so when its stained, it's stained for good.

This seems like a lengthy process, but recommended by this source (%26gt;http://home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-rem…





Remove Eyeliner, Eye Pencil, and Eyeshadow Makeup Stains From:


Acetate, Carpet/Synthetic, Carpet/Wool, Fiberglass,


Rayon, Silk Triacetate, Wool





Brush (the method of using a stiff-bristled brush to gently remove dried stains and spots) or blot up any excess, taking care not to spread the stain. Flush (the method of applying stain remover to loosen staining materials and residue from stain removers) with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. Apply a dry spotter to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad dampened with the dry spotter. Check the stain every 5 minutes. Before changing pads, press hard against the stain. Continue the alternate soaking and pressing until no more stain is being removed. Flush with one of the dry-cleaning solvents and allow to dry. If any stain remains, flush it with water and apply a wet spotter with a few drops of ammonia. (Do not use ammonia on silk or wool.) Cover with an absorbent pad dampened with the wet spotter. Let it stand as long as any stain is being removed. Change the pad as it picks up the stain. Keep the stain and pad moist. Flush well with water. Repeat if necessary; allow to dry.

How To Make Wet And Dry Spotters


Dry Spotter:


To make a dry spotter, combine 1 part coconut oil (available at pharmacies and health food stores) and 8 parts liquid dry-cleaning solvent. This solution may be stored if the container is tightly capped to prevent evaporation of the solvent. Mineral oil may be substituted for the coconut oil, but is not quite as effective.


Caution: Dry-cleaning solvents are poisonous and may


be flammable.





Wet spotter:


To prepare a wet spotter, mix 1 part glycerine, 1 part white dishwashing detergent, and 8 parts water. Shake well before each use. Store wet spotter in a plastic squeeze bottle.


Brush or blot away any excess, taking care not to spread the stain. Flush with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. Apply a dry spotter to the stain and cover with a cloth dampened with the dry spotter. Check the stain often, tamping (the method of bringing a brush down with light strokes on stained durable fabrics and materials) before changing the pad. Continue alternate soaking and tamping until no more stain is lifted. Flush with one of the dry-cleaning solvents and allow to dry. If any stain remains, try the same procedure of soaking and tamping, using a wet spotter and a few drops of ammonia. When the stain is gone, be sure to flush the area with water to remove all traces of ammonia. Launder as soon as possible.

I would just apply the foam ';Resolve Carpet/Upholstery cleaner for high traffic areas';, and vacuum up a couple of hours later, without brushing it in or anything.

Vacuum up as much as you can, but also consider contacting the manufacturer of the eyeshadow. This has probably happened before, so they might have a suggestion of what product to use to get it out.
';Vanish'; make a stain remover for carpets-sold in supermarkets,it's a canister of foam that you work into the stain , let dry and then hoover off - it got foundation out of a rug for me.
use a vacuum cleaner
