Carpet Stain Remover

This carpet stain remover is a must have on your list of things for your wild party that you are planning for tonight.  I have proof that it works!

I found this carpet stain remover on Jillee's blog.   Jillee blogs about some cool things, check it out.  You can read the post and how to's for the carpet stain remover here. 

This story is a little gross, but, if you have a dog, you can probably relate.  Bella and I were having a great time playing with Legos in the family room.  Pippen came over to hang by us.  He had that look.  You know, the one where he might throw up (barf, hurl).  I quickly rushed him outside and he sat down by the door and stared at me.  I thought maybe I was overreacting and decided to bring him in.  Once again, he was practically in my lap with this odd look.  He turns, and I decide to rush him out the door.  Before I can manage to get him outside, he throws up on the carpet (in front of Newton, who jumped and ran out of the room).

I didn't get a picture of the before (with barf).  I can see the relief on your face.  I had to clean it up right away and I wasn't in the mood for taking pictures.  It wasn't a pretty sight.  You didn't miss much. 

I scrubbed the stain and RT used the carpet cleaner and it looked good.  Until it started to dry.  RT used the carpet cleaner a couple more times all with the same result. 

I searched online for carpet stain removers.  Then, I remembered Jillee's blog, One Good Thing by Jillee .  I found her solution for removing a carpet stain.   1/2 ammonia to 1/2 hot water, spray on area, place rag over area and iron the area.  Seemed pretty simple.

I tried it and am happy to report that it works. 
Here is a look before:  (without the barf)
you can see a faint stain
 
 And the after picture:

I tried combing through the carpet thinking the stain might reappear.  (it hasn't)\
 
I would say that Pippen is pretty lucky I found this stain remover. 
And, I think he should stay away from whatever it is that made him throw up!

  1. That was one effective carpet stain remover! You can always try using homemade cleaners, instead of pushing your luck with commercialized products, which might damage your carpet. To make this easier, never let stain dry or stay for days on the carpet; the faster you act on it, the higher the chances of its complete removal. Anyway, thanks for sharing this one, Fontaine!
