Vaseline Remedy
So, I have a carpet cleaner. I first used some water and Dawn and the handheld attachment on the carpet cleaner that has suction on it. I thought that would be a good idea - scrub with Dawn and have the residue sucked out at the same time. Then I used the normal carpet cleaning solution and cleaned over the area continually for about 10 minutes. Next day... totally oily carpet. Cool...
Turns out, when you put a paper bag on the carpet and then use a warm iron on top of it, the brown paper bag soaks up the oils. I used 6 brown paper bags and was STILL getting Vaseline out of the carpet. It is not out completely - I just got sick of ironing. I'll go at it again later.

Sorry Jenny, it worked great on my clothes...
Wow...I never would have thought...
Where did you find that remedy???
That stinks.....oops. Good to know though, so thanks for figuring that out for all of us! : )
Love, V
Ya, I'm dying to know where you got the remedy. I know Miss Martha says to do something similar to that for candle wax on carpet... :) The Dawn sounded like a really good solution... surprised that didn't work!
