..over the winter.

During the cold weather it must have frozen and popped! Luckily it was in a plastic basket which caught most of the liquid which must have escaped when it thawed. I won't make that mistake again though

A lucky escape eh? Coke contains a lot of sugar and is acidic so if it spills into electronics anywhere it rots the copper circuit boards.

Very lucky, it was actually coke zero so no sugar, but still not nice. Thankfully I have learnt my lesson without having a huge disaster.

Gazza - you must be a VERY smooth driver

We bought a brand new length of Tartan Carpet at a sale and then spent a couple of weeks cutting it and binding the edges before fitting it into our Campervan.

The first trip out and the bottle of cooking oil fell out of the overhead locker, hit the edge of the worktop and sprayed across the new carpet.

It took me ages with a hot iron and brown paper to soak up that oil.
Even then it was never fully removed and eventually we had to make up another carpet.  

Ever since then any fat etc in our units has been the solid stuff.
