Regardless of your cleaning method, always test it on a small area of your beige carpet to see if it will damage or discolor the carpet.

  1. Mix 1/4 tsp. liquid dish detergent with 1 cup lukewarm water.

  2. Apply the soap solution to the carpet stain with a cloth. Dab rather than rub the carpet, as rubbing will spread the stain or push it deeper into the carpet fibers where it will be harder to remove.

  3. If the stain is still visible, mix 1 cup distilled white vinegar with 2 cups water.

  4. Apply the vinegar solution to the stain with a clean cloth. Be careful not to rub the stain. Blot the vinegar solution with a clean cloth.

  5. If you can still see the stain on the beige carpet, mix 1 tbsp. ammonia with 1 cup water.

  6. Blot the ammonia-based solution onto the stain with a cloth.

  7. Mist the area with clear water from a spray bottle. Do not soak the carpet.

  8. Dry the area thoroughly with a clean cloth or towel.

  9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until all the cleaning solutions are rinsed from the carpet.
