Shaving cream is great to take stains out of rugs. Spray and scrub with a brush.

Just spilled some pink nail polish on carpet, googled it and found the tip for shaving cream. IT WORKS!!!

We had several large and small brown wicking stains on the blue commercial carpet in our office area. We would shampoo using every method and stain removal product and suggestion that came along. One day the owner of the business decided to try shaving cream. She used it at home on her carpets and it worked and so decided to try it on the office carpet, it seems to work really good. Wicking stains are the worst stains to treat. A stain we treated with shaving cream three weeks or more ago, still hasn't reappeared. We have decided to use the shaving cream on all the stains before we use our commercial extractor on it. What a simple solution to a major problem!

When I read this tip over a year ago, I immediately went and got shaving cream. We had those almost black streaks where the doors to rooms are closed. I just gently placed the shaving cream on the carpet, not rubbing and vaccumed when the cream was thoroughly dried. The lines were gone. This is a FANTASTIC tip!

I would have to warn anyone trying this. I tried it after reading so many responses about this, and I've since had my carpet professionally cleaned twice & the stains it left won't come out! I will now have to have the carpet replaced!
Any tips gratefully accepted, as it can't get worse than it is already!
btw It was the gel, but there was no comment warning against using it at the time I read the 'tip'. Wendy

Shaving cream is a great emergency carpet-stain remover. Use on ketchup, chocolate, tea, coffee, wine, even blood.

Editor's Note: Use the white shaving cream, not the gel.

Can you use shaving cream on paint to get it out of carpet? (06/27/2005)

RE: paint on carprt

If it's dried---no. Try a product called Goof Off (07/24/2005)

RE: Shaving Cream for Emergency Carpet Cleaning

I had accidentally dribbled some hair dye on a light green carpet.I thought nothing would take it out.I just tried the shaving cream and it worked like a charm. I have used it in the past on pet stains an it's great for them too!

Amazing stuff.I wonder what's in it that makes it work so well? (11/01/2007)
