Help..how to clean up diarrhea off rugs...specifically sisal.

Hello ALL

Im not sure if this is the best place to post my question, but I figured many of you in this group may have dealt with this before.  Hadley had diarrhea the night before last  (in the middle of the night)...and instead of ringing the bells, she chose to go ALL OVER the 2 layered rugs in our living room.  One of the rugs is a braided Sisal (natural fibers) rug.  Oh my goodness...what a nightmare!!!  My husband and I got the bulk of it up from 1 am to 5am...alarms go off at 5:30 for the kids to go to school.  Anyhow, I'll spare you all the details...but am hoping someone has a good remedy for getting the horrible stains out of such a rug and the smell.  I feel I can likely tackle the smell BUT he stains are tremendous and it is a 10X14 rug.  I really don't want to throw it away, it's in great condition otherwise and have only had it about a year.  Anyhow, ANY advise would be so very much appreciated.

P.S. Hadley is on the mend.  Not sure what made her sick, though I have a theory.  One of my boys caught her eating a poop (yuck) 2 days ago.  She dry heaved a little later that day and was acting a little solemn.  Next day I gave her the flea and tick and heart worm meds.  That night she had first bout of diarrhea.  I should have brought out the kennel and her sleep in there that night.  She typically roams from bedroom to bedroom in the night.  BUT, that night...oh, boy...  well you know the rest.  I didn't feed her the next 24 hours just have her ice cubes because she would drink out of her bowl.  She has since eaten 2 meals but has only pooped once that was much firmer.  She's otherwise acting normal...thank goodness.

Thanks for listening and helping!

Yes, Im so grateful that Hadley is on the mend.  Thank you...

And thank you for the suggestions.  Ive seen my share of messes with 4 kids 8 to 18 years old.  I have a great organic powdered cleaner that does work miracles called Spotless.  And the carpet has successfully survived potty training Hadley with that and Bio-Kleen back-Out Stain and Odor remover.  The ladder is an enzyme much like Nature's Miracle, except that I've personally have had better luck with it.  And it doesn't discolor the Sisal.  I don't have anymore, so Im ordering it on Amazon and hoping that will help.  Ive also put the Spotless powder on it, hoping that will help too...chipping away at it carefully.  In the meantime I literally have orange cones around both rugs.  It looks like a crime scene around here...haha.

My neighbor has a Bissell carpet cleaner.  Unfortunately, I can't use it on Sisal...it will damage it.  I did call my pro-carpet cleaners...they told me they have never been lucky with anything they have tried on really bad stains with Sisal.  Poop is a tough one!  

Im hoping someone out there has some experience with a Sisal rug.

You can't steam clean sisal, it ruins it.
