URGENT HELP!!! - How can I get lipstick out of carpet?

[~Trish~]

DD somehow found some of my lipstick this morning and painted the carpet with it . We have a very large patch of lipstick on the carpet. How do I clean it? I want to do something straight away before it dries out.

I SO don't need this today, we're all sick and I have to pack because I'm going away for 5 days tomorrow. Arrrgh!!!!!!

So if anyone has a magic solution or can recommend a good product to get it out, I will be eternally greatful!

Eeek its always the way couldnt they do it when your having a good day :P

I have the spotles book and it doesn say anyhting for carpet but it says for a lounge suite to use glycerin and a cotton ball?

I use eucalyptus oil for everything hun, it got black oil pastels out of ours when we first moved in.

Tan - I just rang my mum and she recommended eucalyptus oil too. I'm giving it a go now!

Sorry no idea on the stain, but just wondering if your holiday is to recover from your holiday you just had!

Haha Junglemum! Nope, DH is best man at his best mate's wedding and it's being held in Airlie Beach. I don't think it will be much of a holiday, we're bringing DD and we're both sick!

EEK! The eucalyptus oil helps bring some of the stain out, but it's now turned a bright pink colour and is no longer coming out! The area I just used baby wipes on looks much better. I should have just stuck with that! Holy cow, I don't know what I'm going to do now...
