    Try some Resolve or OxyClean. Pick a small part of the carpet and give it a test first.

    I think Club Soda is best while the spill is still wet.

    Yeah, it doesnt do much.. I'd go to a car wash place and have your carpet shampooed.. it cant cost more than $20.00 just for the carpet..

    If you can't get it out and it really bothers you, find good floor mats that match the carpet and put them in your car.

    ...and when you are done with the peanut butter, pour used motor oil on the peanut butter. I guarantee that you won't see the red stain anymore.

    The get the motor oil out, 2 quarts of sulfuric acid always does the trick. Make sure you leave the acid soaking over night.

    well... seriously... there's this stuff by mr. clean. it's in a container that looks like a wide ozarka bottle. the liquid is this neon yellow and looks almost radioactive. the stuff is used in water to mop floors, but i've used it before get the muck out of carpet from my shoes and a red wine spill in the past. works for me.

    Use Simple Green Now... the more you let it set the more likely it will stain..


    Simple Green is what they use at Bubbles carwash.. I know My friend works the line there.
