rubbing alcohol or vodka works great (I'm such a nerd)

that way, if you don't get it out, you're less worried

one time I spilled a can of white paint all over dark brownish-black carpeting....that was a nightmare

until I realized...I had brown paint and rubbed it in.... not dark enough. Hmm. I had black paint and rubbed it in... just right

then it looked like a large pop stain.. !!! Eek!

LMAO!
