I have no clue what my ds thought he was doing, but he spilled fish oil on the carpet

. Then of course he grabbed a towel and scrubbed it which probably just spread it around. It smells like lemon now, but I know that wont last

. Any recommendations for getting fish oil out of carpet?

I just bought a pump-spray bottle of Woolite Oxygen-Activated Stain Remover (in the cleaning supply section of the grocery store). I would imagine any Oxy cleaners would work on the enzymes ifrom the fish oil. Good Luck!

I would try dish detergent since it is made to clean up fatty substances.

If none of those work, could you rent a steam cleaner and shampoo your carpet?

I have heard that cleaners designed to clean after animal accidents are good at removing the odor from any protein substance so that may be worth a try.

Thanks everyone. It's pretty warm here today and with no air conditioning I'm not sure I can stand the fishy smell (when I'm pregnant I'm really sensitive to odors!) so I'm willing to dry anything. I have dish soap on hand already so I'll try that first. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
