Foolproof Way to Remove Pet Stains & Vomit from Your Rugs and Carpet


Listen Later

When my goldendoodle Tucker threw up on my brand new living room rug within 24 hours of installing it, I learned firsthand what works and what doesn't when it comes to removing pet stains.

In this episode, I share the exact steps I took to clean it up quickly and effectively, plus a few common mistakes to avoid. You'll hear my favorite products for stain removal—like Folex, Soilove, LA's Totally Awesome, and Capture—and how each one performs on different messes. Whether you're dealing with pet puke, coffee spills, or muddy footprints, this episode will help you rescue your rug and keep it looking (and smelling) fresh.

HOW TO REMOVE PET VOMIT & STAINS FROM YOUR RUG
  1. Neutralize the acid.Pet vomit is acidic, so your first step is to neutralize it before trying to clean it. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 cup of water, then pour or sprinkle the solution over the stained area. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to neutralize the acid and loosen the stain.
  2. Scrape and blot. Don't rub!After the baking soda mixture has sat for a bit, gently scrape from the outside of the stain inward using a spoon or dull edge (this prevents spreading). Then, blot the area with paper towels or a clean white cloth to absorb as much moisture as possible. Avoid rubbing, because it can push the stain deeper into the fibers.
  3. Treat the stain.Once you've blotted up most of the mess, spray the area generously with Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover. Let it air dry. No need to rinse. You'll be amazed at how quickly the stain disappears!
