Simply mix a teaspoon of no-bleach laundry detergent with a quart of warm water to make a handy cleaning solution. Then, use it on the stained part of the carpet.

3. Use a clean white cloth to blot the vinegar stain left on the carpet. Do this over and over until the entire stain is gone. It may take some time, but the important thing is to keep blotting until the stain is completely removed.

4. Rinse the carpet area with a cup of warm water to help remove any residue that may remain. If the carpet still smells like vinegar, use some of the cleaning solution again, then blot the area until the odor is gone. Dry the area completely using clean rags to finish the job.
