Caulk stains on carpet are one of those little home disasters that might seem bigger than they really are. A stray blob from a weekend bathroom fix or kitchen touch-up can dry quickly, and once it hardens into the fibers, it can look like it is there to stay. Luckily, the University of Georgia Extension has a pretty simple fix for this: a mix of dish soap and warm water that will loosen latex or silicone caulk stains on carpet enough to lift them out, without the use of harsh solvents.
