tips keep carpet looking great in messy weather


I am not sure about you but I know that spring and summer bring more than sun and fun. It also brings rain which makes mud, koolaid which makes stains and perfectly painted toes and we don't even want to talk about the mess it can leave behind. Here are some useful tips that you may find helpful in this messy weather:



  • koolaid and red pop cleans up easily when you quickly clean it up with the club soda. However, if it is like alot of stains that are not noticed til a bit later still try the club soda which should help to lighten the stain. You may also want to try hydrogen peroxide or undiluted lemon juice. Wait 15 minutes and blot Continue to apply and check your progress to make sure it is working

  • nailpolish can be cleaned up by nail polish remover easily using a eye dropper or a nonsilver spoon, blotting immediately after each application. but if this harms the carpet then you may want to try hydrogen peroxide to lighten the stain

  • mud cover wet mud with salt or baking soda and let dry before touching. vacuum dried mud if you have the red dirt that is found in certain areas you may want to try a rust remover but first try in small area to make sure it will not harm carpet.

If you have a spill and no carpet spotter grab the shaving cream. This works well with makeup, lipstick, coffee, and tea messes. work into spot well and rinse with cold water or club soda
