Here is an easy way to get those pesky carpet stains gone for good!
What You Will Need: A sock (I have a designated Stain Sock), and hairspray! Pantene always does me right.
Step One: Spray hairspray onto carpet stain until it is white and has a foamy look to it
Step Two: Allow hairspray to become a clear color. It usually takes 3-6 seconds.
Step Three: Take your stain sock and scrub away. It works best if you go in the opposite direction of the shape of the stain. If it's horizontal, scrub vertically; vertical, scrub horizontally.
Step Four: Use the money you saved and treat yourself!
WHY it WORKS: The combination of Aerosol and Alcohol is the Batman to the Stain Joker. I have gotten Sharpie, long-wear foundation, kohl eyeliner and now waterproof mascara out of my carpet using the Pantene hairspray. Alcohol dries out hair, so I recommend trying to find a hairspray that has no alcohol in it for your hair and have a mini can of Pantene for your stain removal needs. Notice how I have the largest can humanly possible for my stain removal.
Happy Sunday!

1. I actually made this post because after vacuuming my room I saw a stain...Luckily my mom didn't! I had to get it out, and I felt like not many people know this quick fix. Its easy and cheaper than getting your carpet shampooed!
ReplyDelete2. No, I really liked this post because I got to talk about the potential risk of using carpet shampoo and exposing yourself to those chemicals.
3. I just want people to know that there are cheaper and safer alternatives to what is quick and easy!
