DIY Methods for Stubborn Stains

Pet Stains

Pet stains can discolor fabrics and cause odors. Use an enzyme cleaner to break down proteins and odors, blot as directed, and for lingering smells, sprinkle baking soda, then vacuum after drying.

Wine or Juice Stains

Sprinkle baking soda on the stain to absorb moisture. Apply a mix of three parts hydrogen peroxide and one part dish soap, let it sit, then blot gently with a damp cloth for effective cleaning.

Grease or Oil Stains

For greasy stains, sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda, let sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum. Clean with dish soap and water, rinse with a damp cloth, and blot dry for a spotless finish.

Coffee or Tea Stains

Remove coffee and tea stains by mixing 1 tablespoon each of white vinegar and dish soap with 2 cups of warm water. Blot with a cloth, rinse, and dry. Repeat as needed for a clean finish.
