Holy Clean Carpets, Batman!

I was getting entirely sick of looking at my stained carpets.  It's probably been about a year since I shampooed them and they were looking worse than ever, especially around the kitchen table.  With our plans for laminate flooring are on hold due to unexpected truck repairs, I knew I needed to tackle the spots or they would drive me crazy!

I didn't want to shampoo because of the time it takes, moving furniture, waiting for the carpet to dry, keeping the kids off it, etc.  I knew surely I must have pinned some cleaners that would work on my green clean pin board.  There were actually a couple different ones, so I mixed my own based on that.

I used 1 part blue Dawn, 1 part vinegar and 2 parts peroxide. 

I felt pretty skeptical, but I sprayed my spots and then used some elbow grease. 

The pictures will speak for themselves!  There's a difference in exposure because it was still sunny when I took the befores, then the flash is used with the afters.  It doesn't change that the stains are gone though!

I am thrilled!

*Make sure to do a spot test first to be sure this will not leave lightened spots on your carpet, especially if your carpet is darker.  I had no issues, but there's no guarantee everyone will have the same results*
