[Shotimes] Cleaning carpets

So I ended up using the isopropyl alcohol with a cloth this morning. 
Here's the story.

This may have happened to you and if not it probably will.  There is a
rubber stopper for the e-brake pedal.  I've noticed that thing on my son's
95 decided to go into melt down and made a good mess.  Not taking that
clue, this morning I get into my SHO (all cleaned already, remember?) and
I feel something on the bottom of my foot.  It is a glom of this melted
rubber crap from the stopper and I managed to track it over several spots
on the mat.  After the depression wore off, I got the rubbing alcohol and
poured a little onto a cloth and proceeded to rub out the melted rubber. 
As you said, it works very well, doesn't discolor the carpet, and doesn't
smell.

As soon as I get a chance, I need to remove the residual rubber on the
pedal lever so it doesn't happen again.
