Carpet Stain Remover - Tips and Recipes |
|
|
Does anyone have a homemade solution to treat stains or spots on carpeting? I currently use an expensive product that works great, but would like an alternative. I have a light colored carpet with kids and cats! It is a nightmare to keep clean... (Wish I could afford new carpeting!)

Club soda works quite well! If it is not working try buying a carpet cleaner and add in some carpet cleaner!

piece of cake! even works on red wine! you will read about diluting hydrogen peroxide but I've found a need to do it (ck on a corner that's underneath furniture first, tho)
wet (not soggy) which rag; rub it across a bar of soap (Dove; not a detergent); rub rag across area of wine stain
sprinkle hydrogen peroxide on stain; soap breaks surface tension (that is, is a "surfactant")
let it work 15 min or so; ck; continue to ck until stain is gone
mop up excess, if any, with another clean white rag
no need to rinse

Hi, I have been using a make it yourself carpet and stain remover for years now...it works pretty well. I use my mop bucket in which I place a tbsp. of either Dawn dishwashing liquid, or Gain laundry detergent. I then add warm water, using an egg beater or whisk, to cause lots of bubbles. I then use a sponge to apply the bubbles to the stained areas or one section of carpet at a time. I then let it dry a little while...( use the sponge to coat ) and then vaccum the carpet. It cleans pretty good and makes the carpet smell great.

I tried using some actual carpet pre treating spray, using a toothbrush to gently spread but not scrub into the carpet. Then use shaving cream and spread that over the stains gently as well. Let it sit for a few minutes, blot or use your steam cleaner. The shaving cream is thick and sometimes doesn't come all the way up, so I poured club soda over the left overs which made it bubble up and is easy to blot or suck up with your attachments. I was able to get out a TON of dirt stains that hadn't ever come out and my son just used an orange sharpie to draw on the carpet. That made the stain fade a lot and is now barely visible! ALSO: WINDEX WORKS GREAT FOR STAINS AS WELL BUT MAKE SURE YOU ONLY USE THE CLEAR KIND!

My uncle has installed carpet for 30+ years and he said to use ordinary shaving cream to spot clean stains or spills. Do it as soon as possible to the affected area. It only cost a $1.00 most store for the cheap kind .

To get stubborn spots out of light colored carpeting, try spraying the spot with some Windex and then use a toothbrush and a soft clean cloth to remove the stain. It even worked on coffee stains! (I have not tried it on dark carpeting.) This great tip came from one of the carpet cleaners at our elementary school.

Buy ammonia from Dollar store and spray bottle. Fill 1/2 of bottle with water and other 1/2 with ammonia. Works Great! Got red wine out of very light tan carpet. Use brush with soft brissles in circular motion or cloth in circular motion.

Carpet Stains
Got a stain on your carpet, use spray and wash before you clean it, spray and let it set for a few minutes and the stain will disappear, it works great for your pets accidents,it even gets the odor out.

Carpet Stain Remover Recipe
Mix equal parts of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide and rub or brush on stain. I've used this many times and never had it discolor my carpeting. However, as always, test in a hidden location first to be sure your carpet will not be discolored.
