The first step is to blot the stain with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not rub the stain as this will spread it further.
Mix equal parts cold water and white vinegar in a bowl and pour it over the stained area. This will help dilute the stain and make it easier to remove.
Mix a few drops of liquid detergent or spot cleaner into the water and vinegar mixture and apply it to the stained area. Use a soft-bristle brush or old toothbrush to gently scrub area as you apply the solution.
Once the stain is removed, rinse area with cold water and blot with a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not rub the area as this could cause the stain to re-appear.
To deodorize the area, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Vacuum up the baking soda and odor should be gone.
Finally, use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry the area. Allow the area to air dry completely before using it again.
