My 19 year old son put a transmission from a Mercedes in my Wolfsburg without my knowledge. Naturally tranny fluid spilled on the rug. We washed it, scrubbed it, hosed it down and I thought it was ok. Looked at it a few days later and the stain is back - any suggestions, or am I stuck buying a new carpet? We have three pickups in our family - why my son chose to use my Wolfsburg like a pickup I'll never know.

It gets the grease and brake fluid out and being Alcohol I can just rinse the carpets with water from my garden hose. I've never seen it remove any glue or harm the insulation.
