1. Most Importantly – Remove it NOW – The longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove. If you cannot remove the stain, call a professional right away.
2. DO NOT USE – High residue products on your area rugs because this will in turn attract more dirt to it.. Use a neutral ph spotting agent that is made for wool.
3. Use as little moisture as possible – even more so with silk, sisal, cotton, and grass rugs. For these, apply a spotter to a cloth and gently dab the stain.
CAUTION! 
Because some rugs have a very unstable dye and can be easily ruined. Always pre-test any solution on the rug before attempting spot removal.
Below are some special tips that will certainly help:
• Make sure you NEVER apply any solvent (nail polish or rubbing alchohol) directly to the carpet because this could cause weakening of the fiber backing.
• Firstly use a spot machine (by bissel, little green machine, etc) or a wet vacuum to extract any liquid spot BEFORE you treat it with any spot removing solution.
• DON’T USE TOO MUCH SOLUTION. An entire bottle of spotter should NEVER be used on one spot. Therefore use only as directed on the instructions
• RINSE, RINSE, RINSE. Above all this is one of the biggest things homeowners overlook. Remember, the rinse water can be extracted with your spot machine or wet vacuum.
Grease or Oils: For greasy spots, apply rubbing alcohol to a cloth and gently dab the spot. Therefore never pour a solvent directly on your carpet.
Wax: Melt the wax unto a paper bag with a steam iron. Place the paper bag over the wax. Do not allow the iron to directly touch the carpet or get to hot because the carpet will easily burn.
