Some recommended calling in the professional carpet cleaners, many shared their tried and tested methods. Time after time mums recommended scrapping as much of the Sudocream off using a blunt knife, and then using warm water and dishwashing detergent.

“I’ve used this method and it works”, said one.

“Took me ages, but I got it all out of the carpet. When all else fails, there is always wine  🥂”, said another.
