Was picking up the food for a lunch function at work a few weeks ago in the VP and a big tray of curry went in the boot and spilled a bit on the carpet.. Its not all over it, Just in small places..

Short of going out and getting a carpet cleaner, what would you recommend to clean it with some stuff I have lying around at home??

Thanks

Just like some dishwash liquid in water? Does it fade the carpet?

Just back up the driveway at any house inhabited by Injuns and yell dinner at the top of your lungs.
