Baking Soda
If your little one has peed on the carpet and it’s still wet, sprinkle baking soda over the stain. The baking soda will soak up the water and deal with the smell. Put a thick layer of soda on the stain and wait 10 minutes. Vacuum the carpet for a few minutes until it sucks up all the baking soda.
Bloat as Soon as Possible
If you spill your coffee or red wine on the carpet, don’t go away thinking 'I’ll clean it later'. The sooner you bloat and clean it, the better. The stains become tougher when they stay for longer and dry up. If you can clean the stain quickly, there is a high chance it will disappear quickly. Take a tissue paper or a piece of cloth to blot the spilled liquids.
Make a DIY carpet cleaner
Remove as much of the stain as you can with a damp paper towel. Then, combine 1/4 cup of white vinegar, a tablespoon of dish soap, and 1/2 a cup of warm water in a bowl. You can also add a very small amount of laundry detergent if desired.
Using another paper towel, dip into the solution and dab the stain thoroughly until it starts to disappear. Keep dabbing, scrubbing very gently when necessary, until the stain is gone. Let sit until dry, and the stain should be gone. If not, repeat.
Use an Old tooth brush and a Stain Remover
If your pet is always making your carpet dirty, keep a pet stain remover for carpets handy. When you spot any stains, spray the cleaner over the carpet for 5 minutes or as described on the bottle’s instructions.
Then use an old toothbrush to rub the stain remover into the carpet fibers. Use a clean cloth to wipe it. Wet the cloth a little if needed to clean the stain completely. For stubborn stains repeat the process 2-3 times.
