Carpet Stain Removal

OK. It's time for another weekly tip. I promised you a great carpet stain remover. With our homes being a little busier this time of year and since it's also the midst of Winter when, unfortunately, sickness can attack - this is a good time to share this. This works on any protein based stain such as coffee, soda, body fluids (vomit, diarrhea, blood)...

Wipe up as much of the stain as possible with a clean cloth. In a small spray bottle mix a 50/50 solution of ammonia and peroxide. Spray onto the stain and blot up. It make take a few rounds of this, but it is also safe to spray and leave on overnight. Feel free to try this on any stubborn stain. This solution is only active for 15 minutes after it is mixed, so only make as much as you will need at one time. The only time that this is not appropriate is if you have wool carpet.

Happy cleaning.
