Hi Everyone,

I was going to chime in to a recent post about the disappointment of bagged Reading but didn't. I have had the similar experience of many small fines and much rice sized coal mixed in. But nothing has me as fired up as what happened a minute ago. I brought in a bag to reload my Hitzer 50-93, only to look back at a wet black stain that followed me as it dripped across the carpet in my family room. Can anyone offer a solution to helping to get this stain out of my carpet?

Hate to say it but I think you're screwed. Anything else I say would just be hindsight.

A carpet scrubber, as quickly as possible before it dries.

Do not rub it in trying to scrub it out.

Got a wet and dry shop vacuum? Take a cup of water and soak the area where the coal drippings are, then suck it up with the shop vac. I clean up dog puke this way all the time, it works great. It's worth a try.
