Did I ruin my sublet carpet?
I spilled mushroom oil on my sublets carpet. I think there must have been alcohol in it as it is quite potent. I spent two days trying to scrub it off with baking soda, fairy liquid, a toothbrush etc but I’ve just made it worse. A professional carpet cleaner came out and charged me £250 for 5 mins and said it couldn’t be cleaned. The carpet repair man said he won’t replace it with carpet from under the wardrobe as it won’t match.
I’m at a loss as to what to do as I can’t afford to replace the entire carpet. Does anyone have any other tips? I feel like I bleached the carpet perhaps as it’s lighter now, but then when you look at other carpet around it there are spots that are light too? So I’m not sure if this part of the carpet is generally darker because of foot traffic.
UPDATE: When I scratch at the white parts lots of foam comes up even though I haven’t put carpet cleaner on it in 48 hours, which makes me think there is still a ton of residue making it lighter?
