Easy cleaning hacks with items you might already have in your home.
🧼 Best All-Purpose Cleaner – Dawn dish soap works well for light stains. Mix 32 oz. of water with 1 tsp. of Dawn.
🛢 Grease & Oil Stains – 409 is excellent for grease spots because it’s a clear degreaser with no dyes.
🛠 Sticky Residue? – Goof Off is great for sticky spots.
🎨 Paint Stains – Use acetone but never pour it directly onto the carpet. Instead, apply it to a towel and blot gently to avoid damaging the carpet backing.
☕ Coffee, Tea & Urine Stains – First, spot clean with 409 (spray directly from the bottle). After that, remove any residue using a vinegar & water mix (5 parts water to 1 part vinegar). If the stain remains, try peroxide as a final step. ✅ Use Peroxide with Caution and do not use on natural fibers.
🍷 Blood & Wine Stains – Peroxide works well but takes time. Be patient and let it sit. Make sure to do a small test on the area first. ✅ Use Peroxide with Caution and do not use on natural fibers.
🚫 Avoid Vinegar as Your First Spotter – While vinegar is a great residue remover/rinse agent, never use it on ink or dye-based stains (e.g., ketchup, food coloring). It can set the stain permanently.
How to Properly Spot Clean:
✅1️ Saturate the stain with the appropriate cleaner.
✅2️ Blot (don’t rub!) – Rubbing can damage and untwist carpet fibers.
✅3️ Cover with a white towel and place a heavy object on top (avoid books or anything that could get damaged by moisture).
✅4️ Let it sit – The stain will absorb into the towel over time.
