[quote=Anonymous]Your post was funny.  Great opening line!

My main experience is with barf spots. However I agree with heat.  Also recommend soft white cotton t-shirt rags for observing whether stains are lifting and absorbing the goo.  Towels might be too thick to contact what should become a sticky juice spot.

Goo Gone is great.  But. It is an oily liquid.  It will be somewhat difficult to get it fully out of the carpet once it is carrying the dissolved jelly goo.

First, experiment on whole gummies away from the rug.  Does your hottest setting kitchen sink water melt them into soup?  What does your lowest setting hair dryer do?  You need to be careful not to overheat and melt your carpet pile with a hair dryer.

If kitchen sink water is hot enough and you have a washable rubber hot water bottle, I would lay that on the stained area until the gummies soften.  Then I would wipe the fibers gently, keeping them in their strands, until the gummy juice transferred to my rag.

I would then try a carpet cleaner that says it works on juice and grease.  I have had luck with Resolve.

The reason I thought of the hot water bottle is because of a crafter's hack I learned for getting labels off of 2L soda bottles.  Filling them with hot water is perfect for label removal. Doing that at room temperature is very difficult.  So sometimes small changes in temperature matter a lot.

Be conservative.  You don't want a melted or oily carpet.  I think you should finish the job with a real carpet cleaning product.  Not sure how that would interact with Goo Gone.[/quote]
