1. Begin by scraping up as much of the applesauce as possible. A spoon or other blunt object works well for this.
  2. Fill a bucket or bowl with warm water.
  3. Add a squirt of dish soap. Mix the soap into the water until suds begin to form.
  4. Moisten the cloth with the soapy water.
  5. Blot the stain. As you are blotting the applesauce will transfer to the cloth.
  6. Switch to a clean section of the cloth and rinse the cloth frequently to keep from reapplying the applesauce to the carpet.
  7. Once the stain is removed, moisten a clean cloth with plain water.
  8. Blot the area to "rinse" and remove the soap.
  9. If there is still a stain, mix one tablespoon of ammonia with two cups of warm water.
  10. Moisten a cloth with mixture.
  11. Blot the stain with the ammonia mixture until the stain is removed.
  12. Rinse again with a cloth and clean water.
  13. Once the stain and any soap residue is removed, blot the area with a  dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
  14. Allow the area to air dry completely.
  15. Vacuum when dry to restore the carpet texture.
