    What you will need: Baking soda, 1/4 up white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon Dawn liquid dishwashing detergent, 2 cups lukewarm water, Small bowl, Towel, Scrub brush (optional) .....Pet or food messes should be blotted up immediately—remove as much as you can with a towel. Once the bulk of it has been removed, sprinkle the area liberally with baking soda. Allow this to sit for 30 minutes, then vacuum.....Add vinegar, Dawn dishwashing detergent, and water together in a bowl. Be sure to stay away from clear detergents with "extra bleaching powers" for obvious reasons.....Blot mixture onto the area with a clean towel or sponge, scrub in small circles. If your rug has a pile to it, go easy on the rubbing so you don't make one area look like a hurricane while the rest stays nice and neat.....Using clean water and another clean towel, apply cold water to the area and blot. Lay a dry towel over the area and press, absorbing as much of the moisture as you possibly can......Prop the dry part of your rug up on another piece of furniture or on a box to allow air to flow under the rug. Wipe up any moisture that seeped through the rug onto your floor......As always, spot test your rug in an inconspicuous area before cleaning any large areas. Don't leave out the vinegar as it acts as a bonding agent for the fibers to hold fast to their color and not allow the colors to run, it's the most important part!

    Club soda for sure, and then hydrogen peroxide, and/or Natures Miracle (sold in pet stores)

  • Oxy clean - about a tablespoon of the powder in a spray bottle, fill with water and shake. You will actually see the stain come out when you spray. BLOT the area with clean paper towels do not scrub.
