I've no experience of this scenario, but I'd be tempted to advise absorbing as much out as possible with paper towels. Even make a poultice. If necessary to keep damp, it can then be dampened with plain water, but there is always the possibility of cellulosic browning dependant upon the usual variables.

Good rule of thumb is: The more removed prior to cleaning, the less soil (and associated problems) to be removed later.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

I should add, Dave, that the first paragraph should be your advice to Madam whilst the spillage is fresh, not to yourself :-[

Safe and happy cleaning :)
