Zinc Oxide (Desitin) Stain Removal from Carpet
When diapering a baby on a carpet, be sure to take the proper precautions and lay a towel or changing mat underneath the baby. Zinc Oxide, the active ingredient in most diaper rash ointments, can leave a spot behind. To remove carpet stains made by zinc oxide, wipe away as much as you can with a clean cloth. Cover the remaining stain with baking soda to absorb any grease and let sit for an hour or so. When time is up, continue cleaning carpet by blotting any residue left behind with a mild dish soap. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, and no one will ever know a baby's bottom touched your floor!

It worked! My son squeezed the whole tube on the carpet. The baking soda did the trick. After letting it sit, I blotted it with a sponge with dishsoap (palmolive) and it took it right out. Thanks!

thank you so much! we're about to sell our house and my daughter smeared desitin all over our new rug. I had to do the process a couple times and really scrub but after a couple hours it came out. It still smells a little but i think will go away in a few days. thank you!

We just got all new carpeting too and our 4 year old decided to squeeze a tube of Balmex all over the baby's room. Thanks so much!!
