Help!! Desitin on carpet.....

steelermama86

Any ideas of how to get Desitin out of the carpet??  I totally left if on the floor after a change and well you guess it the kids found it and it's now all over the carpet.  I tired using the spot bot and regular spray carpet cleaner and the spot is still there.  Ugh, back to the post of how many kids can you handle???

Try a small amount of dish soap.  It should help to combat the oil in the desitin.

I was going to suggest this. I use dish soap on all oil based stains and it works wonders.

Zinc Oxide (Desitin) Stain Removal from Carpet

 Zinc Oxide, the active ingredient in most diaper rash ointments, can leave a spot behind. To remove carpet stains made by zinc oxide, wipe away as much as you can with a clean cloth. Cover the remaining stain with baking soda to absorb any grease and let sit for an hour or so. When time is up, continue cleaning carpet by blotting any residue left behind with a mild dish soap. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, and no one will ever know a baby's bottom touched your floor!

Hope this helps...  The comments pointed out, don't use anything that will "heat" the desitin as it'll send it deeper in..
