My son spilt a huge carton of coke on the floor so I got some soapy water and thought I had cleaned it well enough. Now that it is dry there is a huge stain on my carpet. I’ve tried two different stain removers and when wet, it looks like its gone. But as soon as it dries it’s there again!
Has anyone got any good carpet cleaning tips?
10 points for best answer!
What it sounds like you’re doing is you’re not getting down deep enough.
Carpet fibers are like straws, they suck whatever down, and you think you have it clean on top, but truth is, it’s just all sucked down.
Try getting a carpet brush.
Or just use a towel and make sure you get to the bottom of the stain.
The best stuff to use is two parts water, and one part white vinegar.
Spray that on to the stain, scrub the mixture down, let sit for a minute (not too long), and use good, dry, absorbent towels to suck up the stain (once again, make sure you get the towel down deep), or a water vacuum if you have one.
If this doesn’t work, then I suggest calling/renting a carpet cleaner.

All spills and stains have to be rinsed and extracted from the carpet. this is how the pro’s handle their cleaning projects for their customers. When you put shampoo in your hair, what do you do next. You rinse the shampoo out.Go to http://www.iicrc.org to locate a pro near you to handle the spill in your expensive investment.

Maybe call a carpet cleaner,
or if your carpet is light use bleach? but that may ruin it.
try baking soda and scrub it out real good!

I recently moved and my cousins friend (works for a carpet cleaning company) told us to try this before we call some expensive cleaner.
