Stains:

When your carpet gets a bad stain, the trick involves blotting them rather than wiping them out. Dab your towel in cleaning solution and blot from the outside in.

Club Soda:

This classic home remedy can get rid of beer and wine stains. Dab it onto a towel and blot them out; it may take a few tries.

Shaving Cream:

Another home remedy, you can spray shaving cream over a stain, let it sit there for about a half hour, then blot it up. Afterwards, if you want, you can spray a water and vinegar solution to get out the shaving cream residue and left-over stain.

Gum:

Don’t try to pick up gum that has stuck to the carpet for a while. Instead, grab some ice cubes and put them over the gum. Once it has frozen, lift up the gum and cut off the carper fibers as close to it as you can. As long as the piece didn’t take up too much space, the spot won’t become noticeable.
