    Buy cleaning solutions in the cleaning sections of most stores. Most stores have a variety of products, some of which are tailored to specific stains. Check the SDS label on the cleaner to see if it will work effectively on your carpet.

    Avoid using any stain removing cleaners that contain bleach unless you have a pure white carpet.

    Baking soda could help with lightening the stain slightly. It may also remove any unpleasant odors that are leftover.

    How can I remove car oil from my carpet?
    Community Answer
    Using a cleaner specifically designed for carpet is your best bet. Avoid using water to try and get it out as this might ground the stain even deeper in. Go to your local Home Depot or Lowes and search for a caret cleaner that is advertised to work on oil stains.

    How do you remove putty stains from a carpet?
    Community Answer
    Follow the reading and do it maybe 2-3 times extra if the stain stays. I recommend using a special carpet cleaning vacuum cleaner. Or, you can use a warm rag, wet it down, and use ultra Dawn dish soap.
