Answer 1

Hope this Helps ...Good Luck !


Carpets/Upholstery:
1) A great non-toxic carpet stain remover is club soda. Soak spot immediately with soda and blot until the stain is gone.
2) Pet Urine on Carpets: Dab area with toweling to absorb as much as possible, wash spot with liquid dish detergent, and rinse with 1/2 cup vinegar diluted in 1 qt warm water. Lay towels or paper towels over the spot and weight down to absorb excess moisture. Let stand 4 to 6 hours, then remove toweling, brush up nap and allow to dry completely. Use an electric fan to speed drying.
3) Red wine stains can be removed from carpet by rubbing baking soda in and vacuuming.
4) Sprinkle cornstarch onto carpet, vacuum.
5) To remove grease spots from carpets, first sop up the liquid with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of baking soda into the spot. Let it absorb overnight. Next day, remove the excess and vacuum the area.
6) To remove grease spots from carpets, first absorb excess with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of corn starch into the spot. Let sit overnight, then vacuum.
7) Dry cornstarch sprinkled on rug and vacuumed.

OK, if you want it done RIGHT where it will be completely gone then STOP..don't try any of the home remedies because the will SET the stain and then you will NEVER get it out. Call the local Chemdry carpet cleaning company in your area (if there is one)
http://www.chemdry.com/
and explain the problem and ask them if they can have a technician come and remove the stain for you ..will probably run you about $75 (ask them for an idea of cost over the phone), but the WILL get it taken care of. If it's an old carpet and you don't care you could try "Spotshot" http://www.wd40.com/Brands/spot_shot.html
I have found this to be the very best home use carpet cleaner on the market...

I had a similar problem years ago and Chemdry took care of it..

Try baking soda and vinegar. vacuum area well then put baking soda all over the spot, and then pour plain white distilled vinegar all over it, allow to bubble and then soak up with a clean white cotton rag just before bubbles stop. you may need to do this a few times. this will at least lighten it. also go to your library and check out a book that was published in the 40's and 50's on home and clothes cleaning, it is amazing some of the things that you can do to get out stains, I used an ideal from a book I got that was published way back and I was able to get kerosene out of one of my favorite shirts, that everyone said was impossible to do! believe me there is something out there! hope for the best!

If I'm not mistaking there is a product for cleaning spots on carpets called "Hot Spot" or "Hot Shot". I've seen it used on coke and coffee stains, it works really good.Good luck=)

Answer 5

I'm guessing here but how about pouring it on the rest of the carpet so it all matches then tell your folks you got them new carpet for an early Christmas present!!! Oh yeah and explain that it was "On Sale"
