How to Remove Carpet Stains 
 
by Emma Zerner July 05, 2005

Food Stains and Other Nuisances

Believe it or not, most food stains can be removed with shaving cream. Simply spray on to the spot, leave in for 10-20 minutes. Mix water and vinegar together to clean out the shaving cream, and then vacuum. DO NOT rub the shaving cream into the fibers. If chewing gum is stuck to the carpet, simply freeze the gum with ice cubes, until it lifts from the fibers. Carefully peel or chip off the gum with a sharp object like a letter opener or a knife.

If candle wax drips on the carpet, there is an easy way for it to be removed. Freeze the area with an ice cub, and chip the wax off with a knife. If this doesn’t work, then use a blow-dryer, melting the wax off the fibers. You can also use an iron. Put a small white hand towel over the affected area, and iron on top. The wax will transfer from the fibers to the towel. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT BURNING THE CARPET.

These are just some suggestions in aiding the stain removal for your carpet. If these fail, remember that there are companies and professionals you specialize in keeping your carpet looking brand-new.
