Do you think the vinegar & 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda would work as long as I keep it off the turquoise and other natural stones?

Use it to sponge the area, it might return the cartpet to its original colour or at least make it less noticeable. Remember I do not have pets, but I know people who use this method! @Phil - I don't see you as a clumsy person! @Nancy & @Darlene - Are you changing my name? ;) Heloise never made it this side of the pond that I remember. Fame and fortune?? I think I will stay as I am and enjoy having fun. Now if only I had a cure for my own cold! @Baino - Since the stain is there for some time a mild ammonia solution might help.

I used to clip her articles out. Unfortunately, when a mishap occurred I couldn't find the solution because I had so many clippings. Granymar, you should write a book with an index. It would be a best seller. I remember Heloise well, Nancy. I used to clip her articles out. Unfortunately, when a mishap occurred I couldn’t find the solution because I had so many clippings.

Seriously, do you remember Heloise? Or did you even have her column in your newspapers? She was famous here for years for tips such as the ones you are telling us. When she died her daughter,Heloise Jr. took over. I haven't seen her lately but perhaps some of your other readers have. I think you could make a living with a newspaper column or short TV show giving us these tips. You are very good at it, GM. Maybe your opportunity for fame and fortune is just around the corner.
