Hi all, I had a full jar of malt extract (sticky molasses like liquid) spilled on a deep pile carpet and although I’ve tried cleaning it up with warm soapy water and scraping it off with a plastic card, it feels sticky still and I can feel that there is some under the carpet as it feels squishy. How can I clean it up? I’ve tried the pink stuff spray as well as standard washing up liquid. I know I may not be able to get the stuff underneath the carpet without taking the carpet up, but it will be a big job so if someone can suggest something to break it down or help with the stickiness on the top of the carpet, that would be great! Thank you in advance for your help/suggestions. X

Put some sheets of kitchen roll over it and tread over it , that will keep soaking it up as you go . Then when you get it up . Wash with w up liquid again a couple of times .

Maybe use a carpet shampooer to suck more out . Rug doctors are great
