In a stomach-flu daze I've accidentally spilled Pepto Bismol on my carpet. I've tried hydrogen peroxide (as they recommend on the Pepto website), Folex, Resolve, soap and warm water. Nothing seems to be helping! Has anyone figured out how to get this stuff out? Apparently it contains red dye #22 and #28. Thanks for your help!

My husband's grandmother spilled a whole bottle of Pepto Bismol on our light cream colored carpet. We got out what we could at the time but it still left a nasty stain. It is now 3 weeks later and I just found a product called Spot Shot. IT WORKED! You can't even see a hint of pink. It took 2 applications but it all came out. I got Spot Shot at a hardware store in Boulder called McGuckins. Great stuff!

Alas, we are also afflicted with a similar stain. Pepto dries like pink concrete! Sorry. Will be watching for some effective ideas.

I've used a carpet spray called Capture to get out kool aid my granddaughters spilled on our beige carpet. Get the aresol can it seems to work better or at leat at my house. It might take more than one spray but so far its the only thing I've found that removes red stuff. Their stuff for carpet cleaners works great too BTW.
