Does anyone know how to get the dye from the middle of a lily off of a carpet?

The powder from the middle of my Lily has stained the carpet how do I get it off.

white spirits on a sponge. I use it to get all marks off my carpet it never fails, stinks abit so just give it a sqirt of fabreeze afterwards
Reply:I would say use vanish powder , it gets out all organic stains
Reply:If it's dry still what ever you do don't wet it, hover it up if it is still powder and not rubbed in. If it is wet try a rug doctor (carpet cleaner....Homebase) and vanish oxiaction gel but it's touch and go I speak from experience.
Reply:If it is still dry do not touch it and use sellotape to get up the pollen. This will work and prevent any from spreading any further.





If you have already got the pollen wet or tried to get it out with any household substance then you will have redyed the carpet. You could try a spotting solution something from Solutions UK would work or you should call a professional carpet cleaner for advice
Reply:You can sponge it off with cold water and a little carpet shampoo (or washing-up liquid). It takes a long time, there's an awful lot of pigment in lily pollen. (And next time, snip off the stamens as soon as the flower opens)
Reply:well use honey urine and bleach mixed i know it sounds silly but it really does lif it off ur floor if it dunt bubble add some washing up powder it realy does help we run our own shop and we sill lilys and gore the amount of stains we take up a day is unbeliveable it reely helps
Reply:vinegar and boiled hot water on any stain


Any kind of soap product will come up brown spots after time.
Reply:You have some great answers there. I have never had the problem as I snip lillies whenever I receive them. I hope some of the answers help you though.





I just wish some of them would use the check spelling before submitting their answer. It is most annoying trying to decipher what they are trying to say. LOL
Reply:The pollen from lilies stains what ever it touches.


Shaking ordinary talcum powder over the DRY pollen stain and shaking or vacuuming off should remove the talcum and take the pollen stain with it.


This was discovered by accident but it really works!
