It happens to us all. One moment we’re enjoying a really tasty hot dog drenched in cheese, ketchup, and relish. Then suddenly, in slow motion, a huge drop of ketchup launches off the back end of the hot dog bun and plummets towards the floor ending with a splash on the carpet.
The thought flashes through your mind that it may be stained forever and you might have to pay for the carpet to be professionally cleaned or even replaced to avoid being charged for the damage at the end of your lease. You scrub violently with a wet old rag, only to find that you aren’t doing much other than spreading it around. You dab, pat dry, and are frustrated to find that after all that work, a dark spot will live forever where the ketchup once was.
Not to fear. It doesn’t have to end this way, my friends. Here are a few tips on removing stains from your apartment carpet that have worked for me in the past and may help you get out some of those tough to lift spots.
