Hi Julieg

From your post, I would presume that you are not a specialist carpet cleaner. My advice would be to contact a professional to attempt it for you as yellow/orange stains can be the most difficult, maybe impossible, to remove. Your own attempts may have made the situation worse.

As a professional carpet cleaner myself, I would be loathed to become involved with other peoples problems. I wish you luck.

Safe and happy cleaning:)
Ken

Julie,

Is the stain orange or just a blackish mess?

If the former you've got a problem , if the latter should be easy to remove for a pro carpet cleaner.

As your profile does not give an area its difficult for people to respond specifically.

Cheers,

Doug
