The longer it sits on the carpet surface, the more liquid will seep down into the carpet fibers. It will be more likely to leave a stain if it is left to dry, especially if it remains on the carpet for a long time.

Blot up the grape juice spill with a soft, white cloth, or a clean, old towel. Use paper towels if you find them more convenient. But take care to blot gently, so that you do not push the grape juice further down into the carpet. Then proceed with one of the following cleaning methods.

Warm water, about 2 cups
A mixing bowl
