First to take in to consideration is the age of this stain and whether is just on the surface of the carpet or is already deep down in the roots.

The good thing is that Vaseline stains and any other oil based stains can be removed fully. There is no doubt that the best cleaning solutions is the professional steam cleaning your carpet! Before you actually go and book a steam cleaning you might want to try and remove the stain yourself.

I will explain step by step how you can do that without too much complications.

The equipment you need is small stiff texture brush and some kitchen roll paper.

Fill half bucket with warm water and add some washing up liquid to it (not too much - about 25mm), preferably clear. Mix it well. Dip the brush in it and then gently start rubbing the spotted area in circle's. Make sure that the area is well absorbed with the liquid. Try to be as gentle as possible and push towards the roots. You'll see how the oily spot will gradually disappear. Then absorb as much us possible with the kitchen paper. Leave it to dry well before walking over.

As I have mentioned initially, the best option available for a proper cleaning of Vaseline spot on your carpet is a professional steam cleaning. You can also see a lot of very useful information and how the steam cleaning of carpets is performed in links provided.
