Ross, why would one pour perfectly good alcohol onto the carpet
Actually If you are worried about mold and the like, you should check the effect that a bit of alcohol has on it. Naturally one would not sacrifice ethyl alcohol...but some cheapo methyl alcohol seems to work.

I think that a small amount of alcohol might help with the mold, but who could turn down a chance to win the load of crap award?

you know I had a large spill under my stand and when i moved the carpet under the pads was perfect.. Salt is a natural preservitive so maybe it preserved the carpet and prevented rot
