How to get mustard out of carpet

Scrape up excess mustard first, then use cool water and blotting; mustard is very difficult to remove and may leave a slight yellow or red stain.

Remove excess mustard with a dull knife or spoon.
Pretest cool water on an inconspicuous area to check colorfastness.
Sponge the stained area with cool water.
Blot with clean white cloths, rotating to a clean area of the cloth as the stain transfers.
Repeat sponging with cool water and blotting until no more stain is being removed.
Blot thoroughly with clean dry cloths to remove excess moisture.
Run your hand across the carpet against the nap to set the pile, then allow the carpet to air dry.

Don't do this

Do not rub; rubbing spreads the stain and frays pile.
Do not keep blotting with a stained part of the cloth; it can transfer mustard back to the carpet.
Do not skip the colorfastness pretest; the carpet color may not be stable.
Do not assume the stain will disappear completely; mustard can leave a slight yellow or red stain.

Mustard is very difficult to remove successfully, so a slight yellow or red stain may remain. If you try more, use a commercial product made for this, used per its label.
