Can you use one of those carpet cleaners or do you need to use a steam cleaner if so how do you scrub the stain out of the fabric or does the steam just do it? Bought a used sofa that didn’t see all the stains on it until we got home.

So I have two dogs, and lately they have been using my bedroom as their personal bathroom. They’re both fully grown and completely potty trained, but for some reason they seem to enjoy going into my room in particular to do their business. It’s hard to correct the behavior because during the day they are at my house alone (although that problem is easily fixed by shutting my door), but the biggest problem is that they sleep in my bedroom and I can’t sleep with my door shut, so I often wake up to unpleasant surprises. For the last few weeks, however, they seem to have stopped, but I’m beginning to worry that my rug is completely ruined.

Regardless, I’ve tried again and again to clean the smell and stains out of my carpet, but nothing seems to work. They stains go away fairly easily, but the smell remains and it is terrible. I tried shampooing my entire rug countless times; it doesn’t really make a difference. I used tons of different carpet cleaners, but now it’s harder because all the stains are gone so I don’t know exactly where to clean. The smell makes me want to gag whenever I walk into my room. I will replace my carpet with wood floor as soon as possible, but at the moment it’s a money issue so I’ll just have to deal with my carpet.

Help… please?

I havent found one product that cleans as well as baking soda or bleach.

I use baking soda for a plethora of uses from getting stains off my plates, coffee pot, cups, utensils, to deodorize my carpet, refridgerator, and even brushing my teeth with occasionally to keep them white.

I use bleach for countertops, sinks, tile floors, toilet, and washing clothes. I always use a tablespoon of bleach in a quart of water. Rule of thumb is if you smell bleach in your house then you used too much. Sometimes I dilute bleach, dish soap, warm water to clean my tile floors. Excellent!
A little bleach goes a long way and always dilute, dilute, dilute.

I swear by bleach and baking soda for awesome cleaning ability. My house always smells fresh and clean. I never have to use fragrances anymore.

I have tryed lysol, ammonia, kitchen cleaners, bathroom cleaners, 409, etc, and they dont even come close to bleach or baking soda. Vingegar didnt make the cut because it stinks.

My next goal is to find the best bar of soap on the market. So far i use Dial and it does what it says–kills body odor and stay fresh all day. Whats your best soap that you always go back to?

Can you think of any awesome cleaning product that you swear by?

When we moved in 2 months ago there were a few stains on the carpet, but otherwise it looked clean. I vacuum once a week just on principle I like to walk on clean carpet. However, I got a puppy for christmas and she’s already mostly house broken. We’ve just had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. I noticed she went on the stained parts of the carpet. Our carpet is a medium brown color and the stains are just a little darker so I wasn’t too worried and noted it on my move in check list. As I was cleaning the accidents, I noticed quite a bit of dirt coming up also. I wanted to steam clean, but I know that some steam cleaners actually soak the carpet which can cause the carpet to not get completely dry in some areas leading to mold or rotting. I’m not sure what to do because it’s killing the neat freak in me that the floor is so icky. We were told that it had been professionally steam cleaned prior to us moving in, but that seems highly doubtful. Any ideas on how or what I should use to clean my carpet? I’m kind of on a tight budget so the best for the cheapest price would be great.

i am moving in a week and i have a couple of stains on my carpet due to my cat. he puked a few times and sometimes they were not cleaned up right away. now there are 3 or 4 stains in one of our rooms that we cant seem to get up. they are orange and the carpet it tan. we really need out deposit back, so any suggestions. basic cleaners havnt worked so far, nor has shampooing the carpet.

I have a white berber carpet in my room, and it has these gross grayish areas that are probably from dirt and what not . Also, my nauseous doggy sleeps on my bed and I have his various, dried throw up stains in it too. I’ve tried orange Goo Gone on everything , and it didnt work .

I would like something that’s pretty cheap that I could buy at like a local Walmart/Target, deep cleaning , pet safe , works on berber carpet , and isent a ton of hastle. I mean I don’t mind getting on my hands and knees working stuff in , but nothing too extreme. I just want my carpet clean!!

I don’t want to have to rent a carpet cleaner , so I’m curious . What store bought carpet cleaners have worked for you? And do you think those will work for my carpet ?

Thank you so much! (:

It’s short fibered and light brown. The stains range from spilled drinks with dyes to red sauce accidents to stray liquid drops like milk, raman broth, syrup……it’s getting discusting and even with the quick clean up right after the spill there is STILL a dark stain.
Rug doctor does NOT work and we CANNOT afford a professional cleaner right now. I need DIY carpet cleaners that WORK!
Cute idea about the rugs….but not unless I can find one big enough to cover the whole livingroom…..

I am decorating my room and want to clean the carpet and remove all the dirt and stains. What should I use to clean it? Are any of those "spray on, vacuum off" cleaners worth using and if not what can I use in place of them?
I would get a professional to do it but its too expensive.

I have stains in my carpet but i’m moving and need to get them up. I’ve tried carpet cleaners, they didn’t work well. They made them lighter, bbut didn’t get them out. The stains are small. Most are from makeup.
