Even the worst stains can be successfully removed from your carpet with a cleaning machine you have rented or purchased. Just turn on the machine, run it over the stain and your carpet will be clean as new again. However, these machines can be quite expensive and you may not want to spend that much money just to remove a tiny spot on your carpet. Fortunately, a variety of household products can help you to deal with unwanted spots, all you need is some patience.
Instructions
- Absorb any stain-causing liquid from the carpet using a clean cloth to blot the stain. Make sure to pick up any large particles with the cloth first, advised by carpet cleaning professionals.
- Make a cleaning paste by mixing equal parts of baking soda and white vinegar. Don't worry if the paste feels grainy after it has been mixed.
- Spread the paste over the stained area, then use a spray bottle to spray cool water on top of the paste. Scrub the mixture into the carpet using an old toothbrush.
- Wet the stained area with more water to rinse, and use a dry cloth to blot up the moisture. Make sure all the paste has been removed. If the stain persists, rub powdered oxygenated bleach into it using the toothbrush. Repeat until the stain is completely removed, then rinse and leave the carpet to dry naturally.
Keep in mind that oxygenated bleach is not suitable for some carpets, such as shag or heavy pile, as it can cause damage. Consult professional carpet cleaning company if you are not sure whether it is good to use oxygenated bleach on your carpet or not.
