This is a great way to remove spots. The dish soap could attract dirt, but if you use a tablespoon of vinegar to two cups of warm water to rinse the cleaning solution out, that will help remove the soap
I think you really need a wet extraction to remove the soap scum. I have a machine that rinses and extracts (Hoover) or you can wet the spot with clear water and a shop vac without the filter. Otherwise, the spot will come back and will be worse.
Oh my god, I didn't expect for it to be so EASY! I lived with these stains for so long I was looking for a professional cleaner, but it is so easy! I haven't seen my carpet this clean in years! Thank you so much!!!
I’ve tried to remove carpet stains in the past & spent hours doing it but the stains never actually came out! This is a great & easy way to remove carpet stains!
Oh wow it’s comments like this that is why I’m doing TH-cam! I can’t take credit for making up the solution but I just had to try & share and I’m so glad it worked for you! I myself was amazed when it worked on my old stain!! Have a blessed day!
As a cat dad, I often need to clean up spots where he has thrown up hair balls, which also come along with vomit. This looks like just the solution I need. Thanks!
This was great, I've used this method twice, and the second time was better, I used a large microfiber towel and rinsed the solution out with vinegar and warm water. Great results!
my oh my thank you ma’am. i spilled some ink while tattooing myself last week and it created an odd yellow spot, and this cleared it right up THANK YOU.
Thank you so much for having this video. My dog just puked up some charcoal from a hand warmer, that she chewed up. I used your trick and my carpet is clean and does not smell either. You are a life savor!! Thank you!!!
Oh goodness! I hope your dog is OK!!!! And I’m so super glad the solution worked on your carpet! Thanks so much for watching, and for your comment, it means a lot to me to hear from you! 💕
thank you so much! there was a spot on my carpet that turned yellow and moldy due to a really cheap carpet cleaner. this made my floor white again! i also got rid of the excess by running a steam cleaner over it after scrubbing.
Perfect! This is good to know that it helped you and also that using the steam cleaner afterwards helped to get rid of excess water/soap residue! Yay, I’m glad this solution helped you and thank you for leaving a comment so others can be helped with your tip as well!!!! 💕
Thank you so much!!!! I tried Oxyclean and a professional carpet stain remover. Nothing would get rid of these old (very old) cat vomit and tea stains. This did! I'm selling some furniture in a room and was worried about these stains and people seeing them and walking right out. This worked, I can let people in without shame! Thank you again. 👍👍👍
Yay! This is great news thank you so much for sharing! Isn’t TH-cam the best! I can’t take credit for coming up the recipe - but I sure am glad I shared my successful results so it could help others! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and sharing your success too!
Just a tip, I see you have hardware floors under that runner, may I highly recommend that you put an absorbent towel under the stain before treating. This is for 2 reasons, 1st it keeps the cleaner from warping your wood floor, 2nd it absorbs the stain as it will bleed thru when u pour the cleaner solution
That is an excellent tip thanks so much for sharing Michelle! I’m so thankful for the youtube community - always helping each other out! Have a great weekend 💕 Cathy
I have two boys, age 2 and 4. Recently we move into a house and I have decided that I will risk’s everything to make my home as bright and white as possible, so we got a white carpet lol Definitely will use this method! Thank you
I can't wait for the weekend to try all these great suggestions. I know I have all of the products needed. I have 4 stubborn stain that have been haunting me. Now I have a plan to attack! I will win this fight. Thanks again all!
Yay! I’m so excited for you to win the fight! 👊 I take it you read a lot of comments and got all the great tips shared by others?! Thank you for watching and reading the comments and leaving us a comment! 🙏 go get em!
@@LivingGratefully Yes, I did read all the comments. They all sounded like great tips and will help in a big way. I even have a carpet shampooer which I'll use during the rinsing process with the Vinegar. I'll use the towels to blot out the soap before rinsing. I'm going to slay this. Thanks again. 🙂

Hi Matthew! That is so great to hear! Isn’t TH-cam the best? I can’t take credit for the solution, I found it on TH-cam and just wanted to try it out and when it worked for me I just had to share :) but I’m loving hearing how it has helped so many people! Thanks for leaving a comment! And Good luck with potty training!!
I made this cleaner and I sprayed it on the carpet on the spots and rubbed a bit on the spots and then used carpet shampoo machine to clean it. It also works great on cleaning blinds, windows and other surfaces.
Ik this was from last year but you are a literal life saver all of the red paint got off my carpet and my mom doesn't know i did this so at least i wont get grounded
Thanks for sharing! This worked perfectly for a series of dark blotches on my beige carpet. I administered it with a spray bottle, though, which I highly recommend to get an even spread of the solution. 👍
Omg this looks super easy & satisfying to watch! I’m about to spot clean away all the little dirty polkadots in my entire apartment 😅. Thank you for this! 🤗🤗🤗
You’re welcome!! I love how excited you are!! You can also try my dish soap spray recipe for less stubborn stains and then go to this method if the “dish soap spray” doesn’t work. I use it on everything !! here is the recipe video (it’s just dish soap & water 😃) so easy and I use it on granite countertops, windows, laundry & carpet spots.
th-cam.com/video/aCfvoud3rF4/w-d-xo.html. This is the “dish soap spray” recipe that can be used on less stubborn stains 😊 thanks for watching my videos! I’m thankful for you! Good luck with your polka dots!!
O M G…I totally should have done a before and after! This vid worked like a charm. I put all of the ingredients in a bottle and sprayed it over the stain, then used salt to help absorb the moisture & vacuumed.
Ooooh, the spray bottle - what a great idea! And the salt… so interesting! Yay, I’m so glad it worked well and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with me & with our living gratefully community! Your comment made my day. This is why I do TH-cam - I love to help others but I also love it when y’all help me!
@@jalissa4120 I used regular table salt. Baking soda would probably work too. The salt sort of clumped together and made it easier to remove and less to vacuum.
If you need to use Dawn Dish Soap on carpets … only use a very very small amount, (more is NOT better) as it is hard to get all of the soap suds out of the carpet without a carpet extractor (like the carpet cleaning pros use).
Dawn is great! I used it to clean the siding on our house years ago when we did a remodeling job! I never knew it is so good for carpet! And Willow is adorable ! ❤️
Hi Diane! Thanks so much for watching! I love using Dawn on our siding as well!! It’s truly an amazing product! Thank you for letting me hear from you! 💕 Cathy
+Ross Miller Hi Ross, thank you so much for this comment! You made my day. I’m so happy to share this tip and glad it helped you and glad you liked the verse too! :) Have a wonderful, happy day!
I can see the ring of the former stain. The problem with using soap is it lathers and is impossible to fully remove. It also attracts more dirt. It is better to use a carpet solution for spot stains, or dilute the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or baking soda on an older carpet or area rug and skip the soap. I wouldn't mess around with expensive carpets. 🇨🇦
My tan carpet is RUINEDDDD because of pet stains it looks horrible.. I’m tried many spot removers nothing necessarily works. And I’ve read some comments for tips too I’m gonna try this and come back and let y’all know !! :)
Recipe in this video: 1 cup water 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide 2 Tablespoons dawn dish soap I’ve used this for so many set in stains including clothes, sheets, carpet and a white futon mattress. This recipe works!
This is such an amazing tip that you so much I hope you have the best day!!! I honestly don’t know why I didn’t think of that! But hey, that’s what TH-cam and people like you are for! Thank you!!
Dude I’m shocked at the results using this solution. I basically just scrubbed the solution into my carpet and then used a carpet cleaning vacuum to suck it up from the carpet. Instant results 😮
@@LivingGratefully Two separate applications - Picked up some but I can still see the outer ring . I've also followed up with the steam cleaner ( also two separate cleanings ) I really worked it over and over but it still showing after it dries . I'm thinking it's something Oil based my wife accidentally spilled . I will continue the process as it is much better then before even though it's still partially there .
Wow that’s so cool that it worked for you! I found that I was surprised how well it worked for me too! You are welcome - thanks so much for watching and for your comment! I love to hear from y’all! 💖
it looks like the solution lightened up the area compared to the rest of the carpet. Can you notice this live or is it just the camera picking this up?
Hi! Thanks for watching and leaving me a question! I didn’t notice it being lighter in real life. And in the video when I swipe my hand over it looks like darker threads come up (like it does with most carpet when you swipe over it) so I don’t think it did. But if you are concerned about your carpet being lighter definitely test first! I don’t want anything bad to happen to your carpet :)
My carpet looks like a Jackson Pollock painting with a black light, hope this cleans it . I have tried everything if this does not work maybe more piss on the rest of carpet to make uniform .
😲😲😲 I was looking for something easy to clean up my rug, and you did it!!! You got a new subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing this information! Love it 😍 Many Blessings to you 💫✨💫✨💫✨
Hi Lupita 💕 Thank you for letting me hear how well this worked for you! Many blessings right back to you! Thank you again for such a nice comment, I certainly am blessed to have such sweet subscribers!!! Cathy
@@LivingGratefully I tried this today! The floorboard of my car was already in need of trying something and I spilled my strawberry frappucino all over the floorboard that was already in need of some TLC, now lets add some strawberry puree on top of it! I immediately remembered your video and got the stuff. Only thing I did different was I used the blue Palmolive with Oxy and I did use the spray bottle. Every thing else was exactly like your video. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! I started looking around the house for other spots to use it on! Those who try to say this solution does not work may have not made the solution properly or maybe way trying to use it as paint remover...ALTHOUGH, I am not above trying it for that purpose as well. THIS WORKS for strawberry puree and shoe scum on the floor board of a car! The only elbow grease required is in the blotting process, unless your entire carpet is atrocious, in which case you probably need to use a steam cleaner or replace the darn tootin' thing all together!
Lol this made me laugh out loud! I’m so happy that it worked for you! And I agree it’s amazing that it doesn’t even take that much elbow grease it’s truly surprising how well it works on old set in stains!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience :) have the best day!
From my professional carpet cleaning opinion, If u don’t remove the soap from the carpet it will make the stain worse over time. Definitely need to use some water and a shop vac to remove as much soap from carpet as possible.
Thank you! A few folks have suggested that and I’m so grateful to have others opinions to help me out and it helps everyone else out too! Thank you so much for sharing! When I use the solution again, I will definitely use your suggestion!
Underneath that carpet you probably have water stained wood floor. Also, think of washing dishes with Dawn, then drying them without rinsing. That's your carpet. Putting 1/3 less liquid down, follow same steps, then pour water on a few times after and wipe up. Follow with a wetvac (every household should have one) to pull the remaining heavy water out. Lastly, put fan down.
I dropped a full bowl of tofu kim chi soup on my carpet. If you don't know what that is, its very orange and red. This is the 4th carpet cleaning video I've come across and the ONLY one that is working! I'm down a toothbrush but this really did work! I'm still scrubbing but wanted to write a thank you before I forget!!!
I even used this off brand dish soap instead of Dawn and it still worked!! REALLY quickly too! My carpet isn't discolored either. Sorry for wall spam but really am just grateful for your video!
Hi Kellee! Wow, this is such good news to hear that the solution worked for you! YAY! I love hearing all these details too! Like the fact that the off brand dish soap worked well!!! Thank you for being grateful for my video - I’m grateful to hear from you!! 💕
Here's how to remove bleach stains from carpet: Mix 4 cups of warm water with 2 tbsp of white vinegar dip a sponge in the solution dab at the stain until it's generously soaked with the solution leave it for 5 minutes rub with a new sponge soaked in water rinse with cold water and blot dry (Note: it may take 2-3 tries before the stain disappears) Hope was helpful please let me know how it works🙂
@@LivingGratefully thank you! Seriously, my dog is sick and I was sooo stressed and overwhelmed with the big mess and you made me feel like it was no big deal, which really calmed me down 🥺
Thanks so much for sharing. How are you in about cleaning the carpet and how you cleaned it hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. Great video. Great tips.
This is a great way to remove spots. The dish soap could attract dirt, but if you use a tablespoon of vinegar to two cups of warm water to rinse the cleaning solution out, that will help remove the soap
I love your idea of using the vinegar solution to rinse! Thank you so much for sharing that tip! I’m so thankful you commented with your thoughts! 💕
Yep. And if you have a shop vac / wet/dry vac, you can suck the water out of the carpet.
What do u mean rinse? So after scrubbing with the solution in the video, go back with vinegar/water solution?
I think you really need a wet extraction to remove the soap scum. I have a machine that rinses and extracts (Hoover) or you can wet the spot with clear water and a shop vac without the filter. Otherwise, the spot will come back and will be worse.
Yes too much soap. Soap attracts dirt back to the area.
Three years since this video and still saving lives! Thanks Cathy! 🤗
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving this nice comment! 💕 Cathy
Small Tip: pour that into an old spray bottle and mist it on the rug . It evens it out and the carpet wont be so wet and soapy . Trust me .
Yes that is an awesome idea!!!! I wish I would have known that before! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
That’s what I was thinking. That and if I used a new white bath towel, my wife would kill me😆😆
My carpet is about the same color and this worked perfectly and now I'm rid of those annoying stains! Thank you!

I hope it worked for you! It would be great to use the steam cleaner afterwards to get up all the soapy residue, let us know if it worked!
@@LivingGratefully Two separate applications - Picked up some but I can still see the outer ring . I've also followed up with the steam cleaner ( also two separate cleanings ) I really worked it over and over but it still showing after it dries . I'm thinking it's something Oil based my wife accidentally spilled . I will continue the process as it is much better then before even though it's still partially there .
Great video! There’s a high traffic area in my house where the carpet looks a little dingy. I’m gonna give this solution a try a little later.
Good luck! 👍
Thank you! My 2 year old just stained the carpet with blackberries and this worked, thank you again!
Wow that’s so cool that it worked for you! I found that I was surprised how well it worked for me too! You are welcome - thanks so much for watching and for your comment! I love to hear from y’all! 💖
Thank you!! This worked for me and it easy and fast. Have a blessed day 🙏🏽
Yay! I’m so glad - thank you for letting us know! I hope you have a blessed day too!
Thank you you actually made it work
You are so very welcome!!
Nice job. Love your helper!
Thank you! Pets are the best aren’t they! 💓
This video was a big help, during open house when I was selling one of my properties.
I’m so happy it helped you! Thanks for sharing the good news!
it looks like the solution lightened up the area compared to the rest of the carpet.
Can you notice this live or is it just the camera picking this up?
Hi! Thanks for watching and leaving me a question! I didn’t notice it being lighter in real life. And in the video when I swipe my hand over it looks like darker threads come up (like it does with most carpet when you swipe over it) so I don’t think it did. But if you are concerned about your carpet being lighter definitely test first! I don’t want anything bad to happen to your carpet :)
My carpet looks like a Jackson Pollock painting with a black light, hope this cleans it . I have tried everything if this does not work maybe more piss on the rest of carpet to make uniform .

I was looking for something easy to clean up my rug, and you did it!!! You got a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for sharing this information! Love it 😍
Many Blessings to you 💫✨💫✨💫✨
Hi Lupita 💕 Thank you for letting me hear how well this worked for you! Many blessings right back to you! Thank you again for such a nice comment, I certainly am blessed to have such sweet subscribers!!! Cathy
This is definitely satisfying to watch. Like asmr, except very informational. Thank you.
You’re welcome and thank *you* for watching!!
I am so happy to find your video! I am going to try this on the floor board of my car! Thank you for sharing your video!
+LaRee L. Hughett I’m so excited for you to try it! Thanks for your comment you made me smile :) Welcome to Living Gratefully 💕
@@LivingGratefully I tried this today! The floorboard of my car was already in need of trying something and I spilled my strawberry frappucino all over the floorboard that was already in need of some TLC, now lets add some strawberry puree on top of it! I immediately remembered your video and got the stuff. Only thing I did different was I used the blue Palmolive with Oxy and I did use the spray bottle. Every thing else was exactly like your video. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! I started looking around the house for other spots to use it on! Those who try to say this solution does not work may have not made the solution properly or maybe way trying to use it as paint remover...ALTHOUGH, I am not above trying it for that purpose as well. THIS WORKS for strawberry puree and shoe scum on the floor board of a car! The only elbow grease required is in the blotting process, unless your entire carpet is atrocious, in which case you probably need to use a steam cleaner or replace the darn tootin' thing all together!
Lol this made me laugh out loud! I’m so happy that it worked for you! And I agree it’s amazing that it doesn’t even take that much elbow grease it’s truly surprising how well it works on old set in stains!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience :) have the best day!
Can I substitute vinegar for Hydrogen Peroxide?
From my professional carpet cleaning opinion, If u don’t remove the soap from the carpet it will make the stain worse over time. Definitely need to use some water and a shop vac to remove as much soap from carpet as possible.
Thank you! A few folks have suggested that and I’m so grateful to have others opinions to help me out and it helps everyone else out too! Thank you so much for sharing! When I use the solution again, I will definitely use your suggestion!
Wow! Works wonderfully. Thanks!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear this!
Wow thank you. Exactly what I was hoping to find.. keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!
Wow, this worked wonders for me!
♥️
Thank you. So relieved to find this video.

Absolutely! Thank you for watching! Hope it works great for you like it did for me!
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you!!!!
You’re so welcome Eve!
Underneath that carpet you probably have water stained wood floor. Also, think of washing dishes with Dawn, then drying them without rinsing. That's your carpet. Putting 1/3 less liquid down, follow same steps, then pour water on a few times after and wipe up. Follow with a wetvac (every household should have one) to pull the remaining heavy water out. Lastly, put fan down.
Simple amazing 👏🏿 thank for sharing✨️
I dropped a full bowl of tofu kim chi soup on my carpet. If you don't know what that is, its very orange and red. This is the 4th carpet cleaning video I've come across and the ONLY one that is working! I'm down a toothbrush but this really did work! I'm still scrubbing but wanted to write a thank you before I forget!!!
I even used this off brand dish soap instead of Dawn and it still worked!! REALLY quickly too! My carpet isn't discolored either. Sorry for wall spam but really am just grateful for your video!
Hi Kellee! Wow, this is such good news to hear that the solution worked for you! YAY! I love hearing all these details too! Like the fact that the off brand dish soap worked well!!! Thank you for being grateful for my video - I’m grateful to hear from you!! 💕
Here's how to remove bleach stains from carpet:
Mix 4 cups of warm water with 2 tbsp of white vinegar dip a sponge in the solution dab at the stain until it's generously soaked with the solution leave it for 5 minutes rub with a new sponge soaked in water rinse with cold water and blot dry (Note: it may take 2-3 tries before the stain disappears)
Hope was helpful please let me know how it works🙂

very satisfying to me...................sort of calms me down.......yet motivates me to clean..............hehehe
Am I the only one who sees the ring from the stain?
Ring is probably because that area is cleaner than the rest of the area
Amazing. Glad I came across this video.
