    Dilute a small squeeze of stardrops in a bowl of hot water and then scrub the stains after hoovering the mud and surface, then blot all liquid away and hope for the best

    Should be ok - stardrops works wonders - I bought 10 bottles last year for 50p each when Mr A was selling them off. Only used 1 bottle so far plus I was using way too much.

    It is great for cleaning windows easily with a microfibre cloth to dry and wipe away excess with no streaking!

    HB - I use baby wet wipes for everything like that - it really works! Even the carpet shop recommended it to me when I asked them about blood from one of the kids nosebleeds on new bedroom carpet - it came out no problem.
