Homemade Stain and Pet Urine Remover Solution
Homemade Cleaner #3: Greasy Stain Remover
To remove oily or greasy stains you can try this homemade Greasy Stain Remover.
It consists of simply sprinkling baking soda or cornstarch on the stain, left to its own devices it will absorb the grease or oil into itself. Ideally you should let stand overnight, or at the very minimum at least for six hours. Then all that needs doing is a good vacuum. Another great use of baking soda is to leave an open container of baking soda in the fridge as it will absorbe any unpleasant odours.
To remove Chewing Gum - Try this Homemade Removal Remedy
Equipment required:
Hand held electric hair dryer: Six to 12 (3"x3") squares of polyethylene (e.g., sandwich bags): Extra strength liniment cream containing 30% methyl salicylate which can be found in extra strength Ben Gay®. Clear dishwashing liquid (1 teaspoon per cup of water) or Pet Eliminator: Clean White towels.
Method:
Heat gum residue with hair dryer on high for 30-90 seconds. Be careful not to melt the fiber! Hold the hair dryer 2-3 inches from the pile surface. Use the polyethylene (common sandwich bags) to remove as much of the softened gum as possible. Continue repeating these steps several times. Rub (½ teaspoon) of the extra strength liniment cream into the affected area. Heat the area with the hair dryer again. Wipe the area with the polyethylene squares. Soak a sponge in a mild detergent solution and partially wring out. Blot the area with this solution to remove the liniment. Rinse with clear water several times to rinse detergent solution and blot with paper towels. If possible, allow the carpet to dry in sunlight to gently bleach any residual color from the gum. After drying, if the area still appears to be sticky, repeat heating with hair dryer and wipe with polyethylene squares.
