Soda on My Carpet!!

Oxy clean is good so is carbona carpet cleaner. Another thing which is good is simple green. spray is on full strength,let is sit for five minutes and then scrub it. I got out ground in blueberry with maple syrup since my son threw it on the floor after he finished his blueberry pancakes. good luck

I've heard to use nothing but rubbing alcohol on carpets for stains. You might give it a try.

You have already gotten good suggestions on cleaning products. You also might consider scotch guarding the carpet after you have cleaned the spots.

Also put the glasses of liquid where he cannot reach them or use glasses with tops to prevent future mishaps. You can get cups and glasses with lids for older kids and adults, and they will help a lot with the spills. My kids rang in age from 8 to 17 and spills still do happen. So we have a rule, no cups without tops in the living room. Even adults and older kids can accidentally knock over a glass.

I've had great success with Oxy Clean. Do a color test first in a corner or behind the couch : )

Hi A.,

Have you tried plain seltzer water? That always worked for me.

The professional carpet cleaner that I had come to my house told me to use Dawn Dish soap on stains.

Hi A.,
I have recently discovered Citra-Solv. It has gotten mascara out of my carpet! I love it. You should be able to find it at your local hardware store. And if I'm not mistaken, it is all natural. Good luck.

Try Mean Green. That is the one cleaner that I can not live without. It cleans everything from stains on the carpet to greasy stoves.
before you do it on the carpet, try it on a covered spot to make sure it does not change the carpet color. I have never had that problem on my carptes which are tan or blue or brown.

Good Luck!!

My son spilled fruit punch on our white carpet. My husband and I tried everything, Oxy Clean, Spot shot(which was the only thing that lightened it). Then I read something online, not sure if it will work for you. But you can use a mixture of Dawn or Tide(I used Wisk) and hot water. Wet a white cloth or rag, set in on the stain and place a hot iron on it for 15 mins. You may want to google it for more specific info (iron settings, etc) because I don't remember everything. But it did work. I had to repeat the process a few times but it worked and didn't cost me a dime extra.
Good Luck!!

I have the Bissell spot lifter and it works wonders. My daughter spilled grape juice on the off white carpet. We didn't find it until we got back from vacation. Used the spot lifter and you can't even tell the grape juice was there.

If you havent tried SPOT SHOT yet I would give it whirl.
It is amazing.

Hydrogen Peroxide will work on some carpet stains. Good Luck!

spot shot is the most amazing product I have ever used. I have two kids adn two dogs adn it gets up everything. You can get it at target or walmart and it is easy and cheap. I get the aerosal spray kind and leave it sit for a while and then wipe it up. Best stuff ever!!!!
