Correction fluid and white out
Attempt rubbing alcohol on the stained/affected area. Do a test on a part of the carpet in a non-noticeable area prior
to using rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth. The stain will start to loosen. Verify
by touching the stain. Minor specks of the white out ought to start to come
loose. Rinse thoroughly & vacuum once the area is dry.
Ink
Remove surplus ink by blotting with a clean absorbent
towel. Dab/blot gently with cool water. Blot a few times. Apply diluted carpet
shampoo (i.e. 1 part carpet shampoo to 4 parts water) with a brush or towel.
Let the treated area dry completely, vacuum the area.
Tea
With the help of clean white
paper towels, blot up as much of the tea stain as possible. Utilize plain water
or combine/mix 1 tbsp of liquid dishwashing detergent and 1 tbsp of white
vinegar with 2 cups of warm water. By means of a clean white cloth, dab the
stain with a small measure of water or the detergent/vinegar solution. Apply a
little bit at a time, blotting repeatedly with a dry cloth until the stain fades
off completely. If you intend using a detergent/vinegar solution, dab with cold
water and blot dry to take out the solution.
Coffee
- Blot the stain with a white paper towel to get rid
of as much of the coffee stain as possible. Next prepare a white vinegar
solution i.e. 1/3 cup white vinegar in 2/3 cup water. Using a spray bottle, saturate
the spot with the white vinegar solution and blot to remove the surplus
moisture.
- Apply a minute amount of detergent solution to the
spot i.e. 1/4 tsp of hand dishwashing detergent (containing lanolin or bleach)
with 1/4 of water. Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the
affected area until stain is removed.
- Spray down the area with tap water and blot to
remove surplus dampness.
- Spray lightly with water, do not smudge or dab this
time; apply a pad of the paper towel. Allow to dry.

in the stained area with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let rest for 1 hour. Dab and
repeat until carpet is stain free. No rinsing is necessary. Apply a pad of
paper towels and weight down with brick.
