Any ideas for the best approach for a Tomato soup stain on wool carpet, It will have been in for only 3 days when I clean the carpet on Saturday morning.
Do you think I will have any chance of sucess?
Thanks  Wayne

Unlikely.
You're best option to hope for is that the carpet is a dark yellow pushing orange, so that you could reduce it enough so what is left blends in.
If it's any variation of white/cream then forget it.

If there has been protector applied recently it may be possible.

"Attempt to improve" is how I would charge it.

Try M Power at 60 to 1 and leave for half an hour or so, it normally works miracles

Did you ask if they have already had a go themselves at removing it? and if so with what?  The food colouring(dyes) in soup, pasta sauces etc are so strong it makes you wonder what happen to our stomach linings when we eat them Before you start the job, find out what they have used, if anything, quantify best expectation (low) and why. If for some reason you get a good result you will be a "miracle" worker in their eyes If you have quantified before and the result is not good at least you made them aware of this. Good luck

If the customer has used anything prior to you going then rinse this out first.

As Stuart says, a stronger then normal solution of MPower or Nemesis and left for longer then normal (go to 30 minutes) can do it.

"No, I haven't touched it with anything" as it bubbles up like bubble bath and you reach for the de-foamer We can tell.....

Did this job today - the client had done a marvelous job and got all the soup out herself using just water and cloths,all that was left was a slight ring mark.

I was fully expecting to be facing a large red stain,could there be a chance of wick back on this now.I presume her actions should prevent this happening
