Cleaning tips and tricks of the week....

OK so if your like me my kids spill stuff on my carpet all the time no matter how hard I try to avoid it. This tip is for lighter colored carpets. I don't know if it would work on others since I don't have them. Right before my son was born she spilled a huge sippy cup of strawberry milk in the middle of the living room carpet. Ya, I tried everything to get it up nothing was working not even a steam cleaner it was still pink! So I started trying different things that I had heard about. You will never believe what worked!

What you need....
1 bottle of Windex antibacterial (the yellow one)
a few wash cloths you don't really care about
Old clothes iron
1 spray bottle
1 bowl filled with water

Fill your spray bottle with a mixture of 3/4 Windex and 1/4 water.
Spray your stain with your mixture until fully saturated
Dip one of your washcloths in your bowl of water and ring out so its damp but not dripping wet.
Fold your wash cloth in half and place it over the stain.
Take your iron set it to med heat .Then press it on top of the wash cloth with firm pressure for 7 seconds being very careful not to let your iron touch your carpet (you do not want melted carpet)
Then presto, your stubborn stain has transferred onto your wash cloth!
You may have to repeat once or twice a few times but it does work.

I have done this for all of the red or pink stains in my carpet it works like a dream. Just make sure you don't let the wash cloth dry out or hold the iron down longer than  7 seconds at a time.


P.s.
If you have other carpet stains
 try ivory soap dampen the stain
with a little water rub the
ivory soap bar over the stain
 a few times then rub with a
 wash cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
