Carpet stains are an unavoidable fact of life, but there are ways that you can combat them. You may already have some of the tools you need to clean your carpet stored in your house. Here are some common household items that can help you keep your carpets clean.

Baking Soda

Vinegar

To remove the solution, blot it off with a piece of dry paper towel or a clean cloth. The vinegar smell will dissipate along with any other foul smells and any fresh stains should be removed as well.

Acetone

Were you painting your nails and accidentally knocked over the nail polish bottle onto your carpet? There's no reason to worry. Savior: Nail polish remover. If you don't want to make new stains develop, acetone that doesn't include color is essential.
