How to Remove Candle Wax from your Rugs and Carpets

November 29, 2012 by

Candles are beautiful, but when the wax drips on your carpet, it can be very frustrating. There are several simple steps to take in order to remove the wax from your carpet, but it is important to act quickly. The faster you attempt to remove the wax, the easier it will come up.

Scrape

As soon as you realize that wax has spilled, use a butter knife to try to remove as much as possible. A simple scraping motion will remove any hardened wax. If there is wax that is not yet hardened, you can use an ice cube on it instead of the butter knife to cause the wax to harden. You can then resume scraping with the butter knife to remove as much as possible. [Read more…]

How to Remove Red Wine from Rugs and Carpets

November 23, 2012 by

There is no fear quite like the one that you feel when you see red wine spilling onto your rug or carpet. Your first thought is to cringe, knowing that the stain is never going to come out. Luckily, with a few easy steps, you should be able to remove the stain without any traces of it ever existing.

Homemade Solution

It might surprise you that all it takes is a solution made up of hydrogen peroxide and Dawn dish soap. Combine equal amounts of both products into a spray bottle and shake thoroughly. Spray the solution directly onto your wine stain, thoroughly soaking the area. Once the area is soaked, use a clean, white cloth to blot up the stain. You will likely go through many cloths as you blot the stain up, as it will come onto the towel in large amounts. Continue this step until you have blotted the entire stain up. [Read more…]

Christmas Trees and Carpets

November 21, 2012 by

Christmas trees are a gorgeous addition to your home during the holiday season. They instill a feeling of holiday spirit and have incredible meaning when they are filled with your cherished ornaments from years past. Unfortunately, these beautiful trees bring with them unpleasant sap. When sap gets on your carpets, it can be the recipe for disaster.

Natural Method

If you catch the sap on your carpet right away, you can use the natural method to remove it. Regular rubbing alcohol is the only substance you need to remove the sap because of its drying nature; it dries the sap, making it much easier to remove. With a soft cloth that is moistened with rubbing alcohol, blot at the sap stain. If the sap is not deep down in the carpet, a few blots with the alcohol and a few blots with a clean cloth should remove it. If this does not remove it, you can help the alcohol work by rubbing it in with your fingers and then blotting with a clean cloth. [Read more…]
