Stain removal suggestions - red Jell-O?
by
Barb Jones
Teenager left for Basic Training. While doing a once over and subsequently re-cleaning the room she was to have packed and move out ready for when she returns and heads off to college, I discovered (among other science experiments that were missed) 1 over-turned bowl of red Jell-O that has since stained the beige carpet. I have tried a Bissell Spot Carpet cleaning machine & carpet cleaner, but all that did was lighten it one shade of red. I also tried vinegar and that didn't work. Suggestions?

Try baking soda or club soda or both. Add a little bit of water to baking soda to make a paste. Gently rub into the stain. Let sit for 30-60 minutes. Rinse out with rags or sponge. Club soda on its own works as well but this stain sounds like a tough one. I have removed red wine and dark food stains with this meothod - and they were not fresh stains. For more ideas go to youtube and type in red jello stains. Lots of ideas will come up.

If Resolve does not get it, set a piece of furniture over it! Explain all questions why there is a table in the room...."That is the new trend"! HA! (Don't you just hate it when this happens?!
