Blot away as much of the stain as you can first, then try a solution like Resolve, OxiClean, or Spot Shot. Rinse the area to remove residue, then towel dry.
It’s key not to use too much cleaner as this leaves behind sticky residue that makes the problem worse.

While the solutions above may work in the short term, it’s important to remember that these will only remove surface stains.
