There are many chemicals out there that are good at cleaning carpet stains, but are there any natural ways of doing it so to help avoid the harmful toxic chemicals most cleaners contain? The answer is yes.

The best-known way to clean a carpet stain is to use club soda.  First you should take a clean dry rag or cloth and dab at the stain until all possible liquid has been absorbed.  Remember to dab at it, if you rub the stain it will only smear and get bigger. Then take club soda and liberally pour it on the stain.  Soak up the club soda with a new clean cloth or rag.  Do not reuse the previously used cloth because you may restain the area by accident. Let dry and the stain should be removed.

There are other cleaning methods that are natural but more specific to the type of stain.  Like red wine stains, this is the strangest I have ever known.  If you make or see a stain made of red wine immediately, yes speed does matter here, pour the equivalent amount of white wine on it. The white wines will counteract the staining effects of the red wine and the stain will disappear.  If there is a little bit of a stain or residue from the white wine use vinegar to dissolve it and dab clean with a clean dry clothe.  It’s enough to make a grown wino cry I know.

For oil or grease stains use the old reliable baking soda or cornstarch. This one takes a little time, usually overnight. In the morning vacuum up the area and most if not all of the stain will be gone.  If there is any remnants of the stain break out the baking soda or vinegar and blot or dab until the stain it totally removed.

Always remember harsh chemicals are not necessary for cleaning carpet stains, use the natural approach and stay green and toxic free.
