    A mild solution of vinegar and water should do the trick. Remember to let the vinegar do the work and just dab. Don't rub.

    I would sprinkle bicarb of soda on it and let it absorb the stain and then vacuum it off.

    I've now tried :-

    Vanish Carpet Stain Remover
    Washing powder
    Bicarbonate Of Soda
    Vinegar

    It won't shift. Any other ideas?:(

    Try vanish powershot. Not very environmentally friendly, or money saving, but it works! (At least it has done for me - it removed some old car oil stains from my stair carpet). You should be able to get it from a supermarket.

    how about a solution of bio washing powder & warm water, & sponge it clean. This works on sick stains !
