Don't use hot water. Bleach would work but if the carpet is coloured, goodbye colour........
Now that it's set, soak it again, with lots of cold water, then get the carpet machine and go over it after, once you lifted as much as you can.

No, I'm with pctek - lots of cold water. I wouldn't trust any DIY fix such as rug doctor until after you've lifted as much as you can. Worked for me with a major spill of red wine.

1267772 2012-04-02 09:31:00 Cold water as advised above. Get as much as you can then go for the rug doctor. It worked well for me recently. And no I am not a serial killer either :) CliveM (6007)
1267773 2012-04-02 11:19:00 It's probably too late now as you may have set the stain but cold water and keep it damp until a professional like Jae or Chemdry can attend and extract. We've used both firms successfully to clean blood from flooring for insurance claims where people have gone through windows, been chased and attacked with an axe (!) or cut themselves leaving blood all over the show. But given the old wives tale remedies I fear it's too late. Jester (13)

I didn't know they had carpet up the Nile.
