Luckily treating these stains on your carpet is not too labor intensive, and you won't have to cringe anymore when your little ones reach for a frozen treat. By using some common household materials, you can get rid of that popsicle stain for good.
-
Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Shake well. The mixture may fizz a little, so make sure not to fill it all the way.
-
Spray the stain with the mixture. Just a few spritzes should suffice as the mixture is particularly potent. The goal is to make the surface of the carpet damp but not wet.
-
Let the mixture sit for several minutes. If the stain is small, 10 to 15 minutes should suffice, but if the Popsicle stain is large, wait no longer than 30 minutes.
-
Spray the stain with some water, and use a carpet brush to massage the fibers. At this point the stain should be lightening.
-
Use a damp sponge to scrub the remaining stain out of the carpet. If the stain is large, make sure to rinse it a few times to get the stain out.
