Then with a clean wet cloth with cool water, dab at the stain again, and rinse away the vinegar. Let the carpet dry thoroughly. And repeat this process until the stain disappears. Afterward, you want to make sure that the carpet is thoroughly dried, so you don't get any mildew. You can dry the carpet by using a fan on the wet area, and dabbing at the wet carpet area with a dry towel. White distilled vinegar is made from soured fruit juice, grain or wine and contains about five percent acetic acid, which makes vinegar a mild acid.
