How does one get yellow mustard out of a carpet? I've already Resolved the hell out of it, but that's just muted the color a bit and spread it around nice and evenly.
Maybe I'll try relish.
Or a second coat?
I have this little bottle of magical stuff that should take that right out. I can bring my industrial sized carpet steam cleaner along too!
We’ve rarely found a dog/baby secretion that Oxy Clean doesn’t clean up. We use it in laundry, so we just mix some with water…presumably there’s ways you can buy it.
Chris’s suggestions certainly sound good — especially the part about getting the mustard into a solution. We’ve had good luck with Spot Shot from WD-40. A dog owner recommended it, and we haven’t found anything it won’t take up.
But keep it wet for as long as you can.
CTHULHU can get that carpet spot out. CTHULHU will ululate constantly in a maddening ear piercing high decibel shriek guaranteed to vibrate the molecular pattern of that carpet spot into random chaos. If that doesn’t work, CTHULHU will unleash an endless horde of Lemurian serpentmen to remove that carpet spot with their flickering forked tongues while undulating inhumanly to the non-Euclidean howlings of the eternally enslaved shoggoth. And should the serpentmen fail in their task, CTHULHU will cause ancient sleeping YOG-SOTHOTH to rise from the forgotten rime-encrusted depths to bring all Its eternal infernal nether planesque power to bear on your accursed and bedamned carpet spot!
That is, of course, if CTHULHU can find time in Its busy schedule to attend to your wretched, feeble, oh so mortal problem, when in fact It is already scheduled to be doing this in a few weeks time.
Zout stain remover. I got all the blood out of one of my Weremonkey jersies using this stuff. Jersey looks as pristine as ever, though I can’t say much for the guy that was wearing that particular jersey at the time. =)
If it hasn’t dried, Windex.
If it has, liquid dish soap (Dawn works best, as much as I hate brand names—though be careful of getting one with a bleaching solution, if you have a colored carpet). Let it sit, and use a little water.
And I’ll second the Zout thing. That’s decent stuff…
Trust me. I’m a guy who spills a LOT of stuff on himself.

Try Incredible! It’s in a white bottle at albertson’s or other grocery stores - it gets everything out! It’s clear so it doesn’t ruin your carpet.
With all this good advice, you could become the next Heloise…that’s how she does it. Maybe not as glamorous as being a novelist, but she makes a good living. You could call it the “Sentive Male” or “Domestic Bliss” or “Pete’s Pick’s”….
Do you have or can borrow a shop vac? Water, perhaps a little vinegar solution and vacuum the hell out of it., the trick is to get the mustard in solution and then vacuum it off the rug. The let it dry out, repeat if needed. If you need to use a soap, use some from the spot at the store where you rent the machines. It is non-sudsing detergent.
