Why Are Salad Dressing Carpet Stains Hard to Clean: The problem with dressing is that there are some ingredients in the dressing that make it stain fast.

Then spray the area or soak a cloth to dab at the spot. Use the other clean cloth to dab at the space and remove the stain and the oil at the same time.
