Hi ladies!!! My lil lady spilled her chocolate milk in my carpet and didn't tell me. She "cleaned" it by covering it up and I didn't notice until it was dried. I grab the resolve and let it sit for a bit and went to scrubbing. Umm no! All it did was smear it more now its this hard and gross smudge that is 3 times bigger than it began with! Any ideas to get this out? Its gross and feels even nastier when I accidently walk over it! Thank you gals!!
*** my carpet is beige, of course!!!
Ill see bout renting one. It doesn't smell too bad but its ugly! Omg!! Amy, I absolutely love your rankings! I almost have to get one now :) love y'all!!
If you dont have one, rent a steam cleaner. One of those should get it out.
Try really hot water and then put the carpet cleaner on it. I don't know! Good Luck! Only think this since it's pretty much what a carpet cleaner would do.
Oxiclean! It took animal stains out much better than resolve, and it's much more natural so it's safer around kids. The stains haven't returned and the smell was gone very quickly.
The enzymes in enzymatic cleaners (like Kids'n'Pets, or Natures Miracle) break down biologicals. Saturate (so the sour milk in the carpet padding gets eaten as well), let sit overnight or several hours with a towel over it, and then scrub up! Voila!!
I'm a clutz. That would have been MY spill. Before kids? Oy! Pain in the tucus!! LOVE knowing about these cleaners!!! They work on all body excretions: pee, poo, vomit, milk, and the strange toxic thing that happens to hockey gear!
I have "steam cleaned" red Gatorade out of carpet before. Maybe this would help?
Pour a mixture of Dawn dish soap & water on the stain. Lay a damp paper towel over the stain. Iron the spot over the paper towel. Keep a spray bottle of clean water with you & keep the paper towel wet - very important!!!
Keep doing this and get a fresh paper towel if it gets colored. I think it took me 30+ mins with my stain, but it worked!!
Good luck!
I bought a Bissell Pro Heat steam cleaner at Target for about $150. It is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has got my carpet 10 times cleaner than professionals did.
Literally saved me from having to replace the carpet in my son's room after he moved out. And pet stains do not stand a chance.
