How to Get Antibacterial Soap Out of Carpet

Spilling antibacterial soap on your carpet may not seem like a big deal, but any moisture on a rug can take a toll. Liquid soap, by design, stays wet and viscous. This moisture can cause deterioration to the fibers of the carpeting. As with most messes, the most effective course of action is quick clean up. This will prevent the sticky soap from sitting long enough to do much harm.
