sticky patch on carpet - any tips?

As the title says, i've got a rather nice sticky patch on my living room carpet which was caused by a boiled sweet which must've rolled under the sofa (I only found it when I moved the furniture recently). As this is a rental property, and i'm moving out soon, I really need to find a way of getting rid of it as I don't want have my deposit eaten up. Any ideas??

    I normal use warm water from a kettle poured over it or i shave it with a razor.
  • Thanks for that, i'll give it a go! :T
  • either that or try Stardrops pre-mixed solution (available in all good supermarkets) mixed with warm water.
    Normally dissolves things like that.

    Stardrops can discolour carpets so be very careful!!!

    There is a sticky stuff remover, can get in Asda or out of Kleeneze, as usual colour test an area first.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
