Getting Carpet Stains Up

Here's a homemade carpet cleaning formula for general spills that's easy to make and will work on many stains. The sooner you get the stain up, the easier it will be to remove. Simply mix equal parts hot water and liquid detergent and stir well. The hotter the water the better, but use caution not to get burned in the process.

Use a porous cloth to blot the solution into your carpet, rub it in gently, then rinse it with a clean hot water rag then finish by drying with a clean rag. Be sure to get all the detergent up so that a residue is not left behind.

For Chewing Gum, remove as much of it as you can with a plastic baggy. The gum adheres to the plastic baggy. Next apply ice to the gum that is left in order to freeze it. Once frozen the gum becomes easy to pick from the rug fibers.

Grease Stains can often be removed using undiluted isopropyl alcohol. Blot the area and then wash with the homemade carpet cleaning formula. If that doesn’t get it all, apply a few drops of fresh hydrogen peroxide and wash again with the homemade carpet cleaning formula.
