There are several effective ways to remove stubborn stains from carpet. Here are some methods you can try:
1. Blotting: Use a clean, white cloth or paper towel to blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain further. Blot from the outer edge of the stain towards the center.
2. Vinegar solution: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water. Apply the solution to the stain, then blot it with a clean cloth. Repeat as necessary until the stain lifts.
3. Baking soda paste: Mix baking soda with water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for a few hours. Vacuum up the dried paste and rinse the area with water.
4. Dishwashing liquid: Create a mixture of one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and two cups of warm water. Apply the solution to the stain, blot it with a cloth, and rinse with water.
5. Hydrogen peroxide: Apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the stain, but be cautious as it can bleach or discolor certain carpets. Test it on an inconspicuous area first. Blot the stain with a clean cloth until it disappears.
6. Ammonia solution: Mix one tablespoon of clear household ammonia with half a cup of warm water. Apply the solution to the stain, blot it with a cloth, and rinse with water.
Remember to always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet before using it on the stain.
