It would be best if you considered that the quicker you can address the issue, the better. By doing so, the sauce will not get a chance to set in and get deeper into the rug fibers. Follow the guideline below if a BBQ sauce stain ruins your rugs’ charm and you have trouble removing it.

1. Remove the stain bulk
   

   Begin by using a dull knife or a butter knife, which works best. Scrape up any remaining BBQ sauce stain that is on the rug.
   
   Then, dab the stain with warm water to lift as much of the barbecue sauce stain as possible. 

2. Use Hydrogen Peroxide

   Use Hydrogen Peroxide (make sure it’s 3%). Pour a small amount of it on the BBQ sauce stain, then cover it with some plastic wrap. 
   
   After that, place a towel on top of your plastic wrap and a book on top of your towel. It weighs down and prevents light from getting to the area. Check it every 30 minutes and repeat the process until the stain has started to lighten

3. Use white vinegar and water

   If the stain remains, mix a little white vinegar and water. Usually, one tablespoon to a cup of water ratio works best, and blot the BBQ sauce stain and repeat until the area is clean and dry. 

Note: BBQ sauce has a very strong color and if you don’t get into action soon enough, you won’t be able to remove it at home. In such cases, try asking a rug expert to conduct a deep rug cleaning with an optimized solution to remove the stain.
