removing a dried in stain from the carpet

Options
Hi ,
I have been rather generous, and given my youngest daughter my huge rug that covered my sitting room carpet, as she has moved into a house with bare wooden floor boards.Forgetting that I had a dried-in stain underneath. I think it was from one of my grandsons when he was learning to crawl commando style about three years ago.It is probably dried ostermilk. I have tried super power carpet stain remover and it just won't touch it, any ideas folks or shall I pinch my rug back.

    If you know anybody with a steam cleaner you can borrow, or have one yourself then this should do the trick.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    There are quite a few threads on removing stains from carpets in the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index sticky that should prove helpful here :)
