Best Ways To Remove Carpet Stains

If you start bleeding, and it ends up on the carpet, don’t worry! The best trick for getting out a blood stain is your own saliva! Just spit (seriously) on the area where the blood is and watch it work some magic.
Vinegar is a very common stain remover. Add a little baking soda to it, and BAM! You’ll be amazed at how well it lifts off stains in your carpet.
Some people agree that Windex is actually a wonderful carpet stain remover. Just spray some on the area you want to clean and dry it with a towel.
1/3 part of hydrogen peroxide, with 2/3 water and some drops of lemon essential oils works well on combating carpet stains! Not only will it clean, it will also make your house smell good too.
