My carpet is very stained and is supposed to be tan but because i have three kids and a dog who spill everything they can on it, its now multi colored and i have tried almost every carpet cleaner there is to try and get it clean. Ive used every resolve product, oxyclean, baking soda, and a lot of white vinegar and nothing works! Ive searched in resolved questions about this and got a lot of mixed answers. Some said they did it and it worked great then others said it can make them even worse by making the glue in the carpet fibers come apart. We live in post housing and i already know we are going to have to have the carpet replaced when we leave but that's not for another year or two. Im so embarrassed by it that i don't even like to have our friends over. I would like to know if anybody has bleached their carpets to make them white and if they have did the fibers in the carpets unravel weeks or months later??? Or did everything go okay and the carpets look better???
Using bleach doesn't mean the carpet is going to turn white. Most likely you are going to get a pale weird orange color.
I would definitely just hire a carpet cleaner... for about 50 dollars (I'm sure you've spent more on products), they can come and remove most of those unsightly spots. Just take out your local phone book and see who's available. Best of luck!
try vingar baking soda mixed wait till the fizz is gone and then get a washcloth or paper towel fold it dip into the mix press firmly on to the stain i tried it and it worked but im not sure if we have the same carpets mine is also tan
never never bleach your carpet! Hie a professonal carpet cleaner. or steamer. Try Stanely carpet steamer if you want, i think it is a good company. they are in Chicagoarea.
