[TR] Silicon oil removal from carpet

[v6spitfireguy at cox.net]

Don't feel bad, it happened to me with my TR6 but I was lucky enough to have
rubber matts on top of my brand new wool carpet from TRF.

Take care,

Craig

Does anybody have a solution for cleaning silicon fluid out of a carpet?  I
havent tried anything yet, but was thinking of just removing the carpet
and using a carpet cleaner of some kind.  Just thought I would check to see
if anybody had already gone through this for possible pitfalls.  Silicon is
fairly hard to remove, and was thinking that conventional cleaners might
not be able to remove it.

Just had a clutch master cylinder start leaking, and while it's nice not to
have to worry about the paint blistering, with Triumphs mounting
configuration of the cylinders, you still have the inevitable leaking down
the pedal, and onto the carpet :-)!
