Thanks for the tip about isopropyl alcohol for stains. After a vase of lilies fell over onto our cream carpet (I know, we were asking for trouble), there was a stubborn yellow stain which was resistant to all cleaning solutions known to mankind. I'd tried everything: Vanish, stain remover, carpet cleaner - but a trip to Maplins for a £9.99 can of the stuff meant that I was spared the hassle of an insurance claim. I just sprayed it on and mopped it up with kitchen roll. Job done!

Thanks for the tips to remove the pollen before cleaning, however Isopropyl is hard to get now and I made the mistake of using Vanish to remove it and rubbed the pollen into the carpet. Bought some sterilising fluid, diluted and then dabbed with a cotton bud. By the time I went to get the water to wash off the stain had disappeared.
Thanks saved my brand new carpet
