Carpet cleaning!!! Bye bye stains!

If you have a child like mine, you feel like laying down plastic wrap all over your floors to keep them clean. Realistically who would really do that?? Hopefully after a few tips you won't even secretly consider it! So tip # 1 a scoop of your favorite laundry soap and hot water. Remember to always test an area first to make sure you don't cause more damange than you began w/. Get a little/large hard bristle brush and go to work. Tip # 2 1/2 a cup of baking soda for a half gallon of hot water!use the same type of brush. # 3 peroxide!! This works best for new stains that are red!!! Such a life saver! As soon as your little one spills juice start the pouring of the peroxide(ONLY on like color carpet)! I always just pour and dab w/ clean dry cloth after. Now just so you all know these are methods that have worked for ME on Lighter carpet colors. Hopefully it can help a few of you out! If you do try them (at your own risk) let me know what kind of results you've had. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Over the years I've learned quick,easy, and inexpensive techniques. Which I'll be sharing w/ you all week! From carpet stains to toy sanitization.
