How do I get cat puke stains out of a rug? |
|
When he frist puked I cleaned it up with laundry detergent immediately. When it dried there was a stain.
Any suggestions?

1. Either Resolve (powder) or Bissell's Pet Odor and Stain remover. |
|
with the Resolve you need to sprinkle it almost immediately.

I suppose it's too late for resolve, but maybe I can get some for the future.

Buy it in an aresol can. I use it all the time and it really works no matter how bad the cat stain.

17. I'm also a fan of Spot Shot |
|
It worked ver well for me in a house w/ lots of carpeting ... But, thank goodness I have hardwood floors now -- much easier with four pets and two kids.

19. I think you can get it at a regular grocery store, but, if not |
|
I think a home supply place like Lowe's or Home Depot or maybe even Target should sell it.

3. I just use carpet cleaner but there is an old recipe |
|
you can make. In a small bowl combine; lukewarm water, a squirt of dish liquid and a teaspoon or two of vinegar. Squeeze your sponge in the mixture until you have a nice head of bubbles, then use the bubbles like rug cleaner and scrub. If it's not clean do it again.

11. No -- it's a steam cleaner, not a vacuum |
|
And it gets out everything: cat vomit, wine stains, rust stains -- carpet, furniture, etc. It's wonderful.

9. If it's light colored you can use lemon juice and |
|
baking soda. Baking soda acts as the corrosive and the lemon juice will remove the odor and sometimes the stain.

at least I think that's what it's called.
It's a natural, orange oil based cleanser. Great for little accidents in rugs. ;)

14. I know orange oil is a good cleaner. |
|
I like to use it to clean oil paint off my hands and brushes. It's better than turps. I have some. Not the same brand. It can't hurt to try.

15. Does she color her hair? |
|
I would think that if it gets anything out of anything it would remove the haircolor from her hair.
I have hear before that hair spray has off lable uses. I think it was as a fixative for pastels.
