Question
My daughter was recently sick and she threw up a cherry popsicle on our blue carpet. What should I use to remove the stain?

Answer
I have not found any anything for bile! If the stains is red try this but be careful overdoing can remove the blue color and you'll end up with a "bleach out" stain.
you'll need :
1. Look around Internet for "pro's choice red relief" roughly $20
2. Damp white cotton towels
3. house hold clothes iron

A. saturate the area with the spray bottle of red relief
B. place towel over area
C. hold iron 1/4" to 1/8" above towel steaming it  check every 30 sec or so until dampness in towel is almost gone.
D. move towel(or new one) repeat C.

you can restart from A 2-3 times but any more and the color of the carpet can be removed with the stain
