Make cleaning carpets easy

My carpet is seventeen years old, peach colored and had stains that my good carpet shampoo (Kirby) couldn't remove. I heard that Windex glass sprayed on stains and shampooed would remove almost anything. I shampoo with Cleaning Ideas foaming carpet shampoo and spray the stubborn stains with Windex as I shampoo.

Windex even removed the soft drink Big Red that is almost impossible to remove.

My carpet shows some wear, but it is very clean-looking. We have lots of traffic on it, as we have four children, nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, not to mention numerous friends. They all congregate at our home for all family gatherings.

Remember to try a test patch when using any new cleaning ideas.

amazing how this really worked. my carpet had pet urine and vomit since my dog got sick two weeks ago.i wanted to steam clean but i finally used windex and a paper towel and the stains disappeared. i then sprinkled with baking soda let it sit then vacuumed. my carpet looks new again!!!

I had red cool-aid spilled on my blue carpet. I tried everything I could think of to get it out. I tried oxyclean and that just made the spot spread. About 2 and a half months later I tried simply green. I let it set in for about 20 minutes and then shampood. It came right out. You still need to do a test spot first, but it works and it leaves your house smelling good for days.I am going to try the windex treatment though.
