Black ****t from furniture item transferred to carpet

[mojocarpet]

Recently ran into a situation where there was a water leak unknown to the home owners, which caused an area of their carpet to become saturated underneath a furniture item. The furniture item was black. The color from the item was transferred to the carpet, leaving a large black stain. Pre-spray, degreaser, nor dry cleaner would remove the stain. What is the appropriate course of action for removing a stain of this sort? Thanks in advance for your insight and comments.

You could remove the stain with isopropyl alcohol.Firstly dampen a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and then dab the cloth on the stained carpet.Do not rub or scrub or the stain might spread.Let it stand for about a few minutes and then with the help of a vacuum to remove the excess moisture.After this rinse with water and then keep on blotting it dry till the spot is completely dry.Here is a blog from rbc clean that mentions some tips on how to keep your carpets clean (http://www.rbcclean.com/blog/dirty-c...dirty-carpets/) .
