One of the many unpleasant side effects of a carpet spills is that it can become permanent if not cleaned right away. Never cleaning when a spill occurs on your carpet is that stains that could have been removed if acted upon quickly become permanent. Over time, dirt and other airborne abrasives settle in and become part of the stain. Also time can cause oxidation where the stain bonds to the carpet fiber causing permanent discoloration. This process eventually leads to areas of widespread discoloration. The effect is particularly jarring on light-colored carpeting, and all the vacuuming in the world will not solve the problem and the common carpet cleaning spotter will not be able to remove the stain, If the stain has been there long enough, even professional carpet cleaning companies may not be able to fully remove it.

If you do not have a professional carpet cleaning product, try using a mixture of 50% white vinegar and 50% water/ Spray mixture on the carpet spill and then gently dab the stain slowly soaking up the spill. Never scrub the carpet fibers as this could cause carpet fraying that will damage the carpet fibers, Repeat the process if necessary.
