Default water stain in rug, how to clean?

Hi...

We had a living room rug that a cat puked on (a small bile stain
about 3-4 inches in diameter). We tried cleaning it with Nature's
Miracle and Woolite Rug cleaner; the stain got a bit lighter but grew to
about 8 inches. We tried successive cleanings with Resolve and other
cleaners and the circle just kept getting bigger. Finally we dragged it
out on the porch and washed it with soap and water.

While the core of the stain is lighter, there seems to be a ring of
water stain growing outwards with successive washings. Any good
suggestions how to get the water stain ring out?

Thanks
Mark



I agree with Lawrence. If you want to try one more thing, try club soda. Not
the half-full bottle that's been in the refrigerator since Thanksgiving, but
a fresh bottle. It might take a couple of big bottles to thoroughly saturate
the area. Soak it, wait a few minutes, then put a clean towel on the area
and walk on it with CLEAN FEET to blot up as much liquid as possible.

And, tell that cat to stop acting like a dog.
