It may bleed color or fade if you try to spot clean. Call a professional and have them take care of it. They can come out to your house and clean your rug just like they can carpet. You can find carpet cleaners by doing a search with the locator tool on this site. Hope that helps. www.findanyfloor.com/forum.xhtml Moderator

Unless you know who the rug was made by, and use products specifically recommended by the manufacturer, you could ruin your rug. Spot cleaning doesn't really get all of the stain out in most cases anyways, it simply removes the surface of the stain and often pushes the stain deeper. ~Roberta Pros~ http://www.iicrc.org/ TIP: Many carpet manufacturers require that you have your carpet cleaned by an IICRC certified carpet cleaner to maintain your warranty.

It's a very small rug, so I can't see having a carpet cleaner actually come over. Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate it.
