Red Lipstick on a Beige Carpet

I was asked by a lady from Standish near Wigan to clean a stain that her dog had caused. It had got hold of her red lipstick and chewed it and it had ended up on her bright beige carpet.
The method I have used in the past might help if anything like this happens to you.
Brush away any excess, or scrape off with a butter knife so you are just left with the stain. Wet the area with water and use some white (not colored) shaving foam. Scrub the foam into the stain from the outside in, making sure not to make the stain bigger.
Blot up with clear white cloths or kitchen towel. Repeat until you are happy that the stain has been removed. There are no guarantees but if you get at the stain as soon as possible you stand a good chance.
A professional carpet cleaner would also use spray extraction to make sure the area is as clean as it can be.
