It may be necessary to do twice. Once the stain is gone you will need to sand and refinish the area.

Clean the Area:
Mix one or two drops of *Dawn dish washing soap with 1/4 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
CAUTION: Test your carpet for color fastness!
Using an old toothbrush, scrub some soap mixture into the stained area.
Once again, place several layers of paper towels over the area and stand on them to soak up the excess solution.
Use the other half of the vinegar & water rinse over the clean area to make sure all the soap is lifted and odors neutralized. Blot dry.
Deodorize:

Using your fingers or old toothbrush, work the baking soda into the cleaned area.
Let the area dry completely then vacuum.
