Washing a carpet where a pregnant woman's water broke

Q: If a woman's water breaks during pregnancy, is that water pure or impure. If this water fell on a carpet then how should it be purified?

A: It is impure. Wash the soiled area thrice. After each wash, let it dry before you wash it again.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
