This method will clean anything from dried mud, to blood in some cases. Although, it generally works best on dirt, mud, soda, and things of that nature. It wont beat a 50$ carpet cleaner for rent, but it does get the job done well.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Sponge, Mop, or rough towel
  • Vacuum Cleaner
  • Fast-Action Formula RESOLVE foam carpet cleaner
  • Strong brush or old toothbrush
  1. Step 1

    Move all furniture away from the stain.

  2. Step 2

    Coat the stain in a rather thicker layer than the can suggests.(About 2cm)
    Be sure to hold the can about 2 feet above the ground.
    Wait 10 min.

  3. Step 3

    Set the can aside and pick up the Mop.(or sponge/Towel) Begin to scrub the stain hard, and repeatedly for about 30 strokes. Make sure that if foam collects on the mop, to turn it over and let the foam recollect on the stain.

  4. Step 4

    Bring in the brush and scrub the stain hard.

  5. Step 5

    Wait for two more minutes, and vacuum the stain.

  6. Step 6

Tips & Warnings
  • I know that some of this is what it reads on the can, but the brush makes a Major difference. I have even tried putting some dawn soap on the brush.
