Three years since this video and still saving lives! Thanks Cathy! 🤗
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving this nice comment! 💕 Cathy
Oh my god, I didn't expect for it to be so EASY! I lived with these stains for so long I was looking for a professional cleaner, but it is so easy! I haven't seen my carpet this clean in years! Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome!!!
This is a great way to remove spots. The dish soap could attract dirt, but if you use a tablespoon of vinegar to two cups of warm water to rinse the cleaning solution out, that will help remove the soap
I love your idea of using the vinegar solution to rinse! Thank you so much for sharing that tip! I’m so thankful you commented with your thoughts! 💕
Yep. And if you have a shop vac / wet/dry vac, you can suck the water out of the carpet.
What do u mean rinse? So after scrubbing with the solution in the video, go back with vinegar/water solution?
I think you really need a wet extraction to remove the soap scum. I have a machine that rinses and extracts (Hoover) or you can wet the spot with clear water and a shop vac without the filter. Otherwise, the spot will come back and will be worse.
Yes too much soap. Soap attracts dirt back to the area.
I’ve bought multiple spot stain solutions and somehow this recipe slaughtered all of em! You’re a god send thank you so much 🙏🙏
Oh wow it’s comments like this that is why I’m doing UA-cam! I can’t take credit for making up the solution but I just had to try & share and I’m so glad it worked for you! I myself was amazed when it worked on my old stain!! Have a blessed day!
I'm going to try it today because nothing has worked . I hoping it does 🥲
I hope it works for you too! Good luck! 👍
@@LivingGratefully thank you ! 😊
@@LivingGratefully n lol
This works wonderfully!!😊
I’m so glad! Thanks for leaving a comment!
I am living gratefully in my bedroom with clean carpets!
Yayaaayyyyyy! This is the best comment thank you :) ♥️ 😃 made me smile so big!!!
I’ve tried to remove carpet stains in the past & spent hours doing it but the stains never actually came out! This is a great & easy way to remove carpet stains!
My carpet is about the same color and this worked perfectly and now I'm rid of those annoying stains! Thank you!
Glad it helped!!!
As a cat dad, I often need to clean up spots where he has thrown up hair balls, which also come along with vomit. This looks like just the solution I need. Thanks!
This worked like magic. Thank you!
My carpet was a trainwreck. No more! Thanks for the fix👍🏻Cathy! Hi Willow 🥰
you're so welcome!! 👍 thanks for watching!!
I use this mixture for sweat stained shirts and it works so well! Highly recommended!
Wow what a great tip!! Thank you so much! ♥️ great to hear from you!!!
@@LivingGratefully Thank you as well!
Thank you so much!!!! I tried Oxyclean and a professional carpet stain remover. Nothing would get rid of these old (very old) cat vomit and tea stains. This did! I'm selling some furniture in a room and was worried about these stains and people seeing them and walking right out. This worked, I can let people in without shame! Thank you again. 👍👍👍
Yay! This is great news thank you so much for sharing! Isn’t UA-cam the best! I can’t take credit for coming up the recipe - but I sure am glad I shared my successful results so it could help others! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and sharing your success too!
This diy is amazing!! I’ve always had trouble trying to get rid of stains and this was a lifesaver!!
I’m so glad it worked out for you!!! I love UA-cam so much!!! So happy we are all here to help each other out!
What a blessing you are!!!! We’re going to attempt this on our carpet before the realtor’s photographer comes tomorrow! God bless you for your direct & helpful video on how to solve the age-old concern of how to resolve carpet spots
What a sweet message! Thank you so much! I hope it works great for you & Good luck Selling your home!
I know I’m kinda late but this actually worked so thank you mom
Oh that’s super great! I’m so glad it helped you out and thanks SO MUCH for commenting to let me know! I really appreciate hearing from you all! Have a great week!
You have just made my life a whole lot easier and my boat a whole lot cleaner, thank you much 👍🏻
+Matty 2X you are so welcome! You have made my day with this comment :) thank you so much!!!
This was great, I've used this method twice, and the second time was better, I used a large microfiber towel and rinsed the solution out with vinegar and warm water. Great results!
Wow!!! Omg! It worked! That’s impressive!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
thank you so much! there was a spot on my carpet that turned yellow and moldy due to a really cheap carpet cleaner. this made my floor white again! i also got rid of the excess by running a steam cleaner over it after scrubbing.
Perfect! This is good to know that it helped you and also that using the steam cleaner afterwards helped to get rid of excess water/soap residue! Yay, I’m glad this solution helped you and thank you for leaving a comment so others can be helped with your tip as well!!!! 💕
my oh my thank you ma’am. i spilled some ink while tattooing myself last week and it created an odd yellow spot, and this cleared it right up THANK YOU.
Thank you so much for having this video. My dog just puked up some charcoal from a hand warmer, that she chewed up. I used your trick and my carpet is clean and does not smell either. You are a life savor!! Thank you!!!
Oh goodness! I hope your dog is OK!!!! And I’m so super glad the solution worked on your carpet! Thanks so much for watching, and for your comment, it means a lot to me to hear from you! 💕
Thank you! I unfortunately have white carpet in the most used room so this saved me a ton of money!
Oh I am so glad it worked for you and saved money!!! Yay! Thanks for letting me know, your comment made my day❣️❣️
Thank you! Oh man... I've been trying everything for 1 stupid spot!
Good luck! I hope it works for you!!
Thank you!! This worked great! Used my shampooer filled up with just water to help rinse and extract any remaining soap.
Yay! I’m so glad - thanks for posting a comment - i think it’s great to let others know what works and if I ever have a spot like that again I will definitely use your method! Thanks again :) Cathy
Thank you so much for this! Was able to get an almost 3 yr old plant fertilizer stain out of light carpet. Thank you!
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad it worked yay!! Thank you for your nice comment!
The carpet looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Omg this looks super easy & satisfying to watch! I’m about to spot clean away all the little dirty polkadots in my entire apartment 😅. Thank you for this! 🤗🤗🤗
You’re welcome!! I love how excited you are!! You can also try my dish soap spray recipe for less stubborn stains and then go to this method if the “dish soap spray” doesn’t work. I use it on everything !! here is the recipe video (it’s just dish soap & water 😃) so easy and I use it on granite countertops, windows, laundry & carpet spots.
ua-cam.com/video/aCfvoud3rF4/v-deo.html. This is the “dish soap spray” recipe that can be used on less stubborn stains 😊 thanks for watching my videos! I’m thankful for you! Good luck with your polka dots!!
Thank you so much! My girlfriends dog isn't potty trained and it got way out of hand bit this solution left the carpet looking new!
Hi Matthew! That is so great to hear! Isn’t UA-cam the best? I can’t take credit for the solution, I found it on UA-cam and just wanted to try it out and when it worked for me I just had to share :) but I’m loving hearing how it has helped so many people! Thanks for leaving a comment! And Good luck with potty training!!
I can't wait for the weekend to try all these great suggestions. I know I have all of the products needed. I have 4 stubborn stain that have been haunting me. Now I have a plan to attack! I will win this fight. Thanks again all!
Yay! I’m so excited for you to win the fight! 👊 I take it you read a lot of comments and got all the great tips shared by others?! Thank you for watching and reading the comments and leaving us a comment! 🙏 go get em!
@@LivingGratefully Yes, I did read all the comments. They all sounded like great tips and will help in a big way. I even have a carpet shampooer which I'll use during the rinsing process with the Vinegar. I'll use the towels to blot out the soap before rinsing. I'm going to slay this. Thanks again. 🙂
@@LivingGratefully I'll keep you posted how I make out.
Awesome! Going to try this with the vinegar rinse on my staircase carpet it needs a good deep clean! Great idea with the veggie scrub brush!!
Good! I hope it works well for you! Thanks for leaving me a comment! 💕
I didn't feel like busting out the big clunky carpet cleaner for a small stain, so thanks for the DIY! It really helped!!
You're so welcome! Glad it helped!
This is a mazing it's been 2 years since live just like 2 years since the stamps steyn got off my carpet wow
I have two boys, age 2 and 4.
Recently we move into a house and I have decided that I will risk’s everything to make my home as bright and white as possible, so we got a white carpet lol
Definitely will use this method!
Thank you
You’re welcome! Enjoy the bright and white home!!! I love that you got what you want!
White carpet with 2 and 4 year olds?! 😳 Good luck!!!
Dawn is great! I used it to clean the siding on our house years ago when we did a remodeling job! I never knew it is so good for carpet! And Willow is adorable ! ❤️
Hi Diane! Thanks so much for watching! I love using Dawn on our siding as well!! It’s truly an amazing product! Thank you for letting me hear from you! 💕 Cathy
I need to try this! I've haf a dark stain I couldn't remove over the course of about 3 years. I will try your recipe. Thank you!
Did it work very well?
Small Tip: pour that into an old spray bottle and mist it on the rug . It evens it out and the carpet wont be so wet and soapy . Trust me .
Yes that is an awesome idea!!!! I wish I would have known that before! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
That’s what I was thinking. That and if I used a new white bath towel, my wife would kill me😆😆
Just a tip, I see you have hardware floors under that runner, may I highly recommend that you put an absorbent towel under the stain before treating. This is for 2 reasons, 1st it keeps the cleaner from warping your wood floor, 2nd it absorbs the stain as it will bleed thru when u pour the cleaner solution
That is an excellent tip thanks so much for sharing Michelle! I’m so thankful for the youtube community - always helping each other out! Have a great weekend 💕 Cathy
Thanks for sharing! This worked perfectly for a series of dark blotches on my beige carpet. I administered it with a spray bottle, though, which I highly recommend to get an even spread of the solution. 👍
That is a great idea to use a spray bottle! I will do that next time!!!
I had laundry detergent all over my carpet, this worked great. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the great carpet stain removal tip and thanks for the verse
+Ross Miller Hi Ross, thank you so much for this comment! You made my day. I’m so happy to share this tip and glad it helped you and glad you liked the verse too! :) Have a wonderful, happy day!

Thank you! Pets are the best aren’t they! 💓
I made this cleaner and I sprayed it on the carpet on the spots and rubbed a bit on the spots and then used carpet shampoo machine to clean it.
It also works great on cleaning blinds, windows and other surfaces.

I love this cleaner recipe, thank you

Hydrogen peroxide

1cup warm water, 1/2 hydrogen peroxide, soap
Pour solution and scrub
Thank you! Looks simple. Also you have a pretty smile.
Thank you for watching, for the compliment and for saying thank you. It’s nice to hear!! 😊
Very satisfying
Thanks for watching Jackie! 💙
Love the verse at the end!!!❤️
Thank you so much for this video!!!
I’m going to try this tip on my horrible carpet this weekend. 😩 my kids and rescue dogs destroyed it
Yay! I was shocked at how well it worked for me! And that spot is still clear (didn’t come back)! Let me know how it goes! 💖
I definitely will let you know later today. Fingers crossed I have the same luck as you.
Curious...How did it go? 🙏🤞💞
Try using a wet dry vac like an extractor it will speed up the dry time and pull the product out of the carpet as well but thanks for the solution
Awesome! That’s a great idea! Thank you 😊
I didn’t say it before, but I really appreciate your comment. I love youtube because we are all on here to help each other out! Thanks again!!
Great video! There’s a high traffic area in my house where the carpet looks a little dingy. I’m gonna give this solution a try a little later.
Good luck! 👍
Dude I’m shocked at the results using this solution. I basically just scrubbed the solution into my carpet and then used a carpet cleaning vacuum to suck it up from the carpet. Instant results 😮
Yay!!!
Am I the only one who sees the ring from the stain?
Ring is probably because that area is cleaner than the rest of the area
Wow thank you. Exactly what I was hoping to find.. keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!
I'm going to give this a try thanks
Good luck! Let us know if it works!!
I tried the DIY carpet stain remover it got the stain out of my carpet, thanks again
This was super helpful thank you for gorgeous!!🖤
Thank you! My 2 year old just stained the carpet with blackberries and this worked, thank you again!
Wow that’s so cool that it worked for you! I found that I was surprised how well it worked for me too! You are welcome - thanks so much for watching and for your comment! I love to hear from y’all! 💖
As your new subscriber: I love your video, informative, to the point and great results! Absolutely love your video!😍😍😍
Hi Lupita! Welcome to Living Gratefully!!! Thank you for subscribing, I’m so glad you are here!! 🥰 💕 Cathy
it was very satisfying
Works!
Yay!!!
@@LivingGratefully using diapers to get the old stain out of the padding! We have Berber carpet and the stain keeps returning
Thanks . Gonna try right now on a stubborn stain my Steam cleaner can't get up .
I hope it worked for you! It would be great to use the steam cleaner afterwards to get up all the soapy residue, let us know if it worked!
@@LivingGratefully Two separate applications - Picked up some but I can still see the outer ring . I've also followed up with the steam cleaner ( also two separate cleanings ) I really worked it over and over but it still showing after it dries . I'm thinking it's something Oil based my wife accidentally spilled . I will continue the process as it is much better then before even though it's still partially there .
Thanks for the video! You’re so pleasant and helpful
Hi Maya! Thank you for this sweet comment! You made my day! I hope your day is a wonderful one! 🙏 💕
@@LivingGratefully thank you! Seriously, my dog is sick and I was sooo stressed and overwhelmed with the big mess and you made me feel like it was no big deal, which really calmed me down 🥺
A 2 year old cola stain GONE after using this DIY!!! Thank you so much!!!
Yay! This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Thanks! I am going to try this
Amen and thank you.
Amazing. Glad I came across this video.
I'm glad you came across it too! hope it helps :) 💕 Cathy
I've been buying expensive cleaner all this time! I tried this and my carpet looks like NEW! Thanks again😊
Yayayyyyy! Thank you for letting us know how it worked! 💕 💕 have a great day 😃
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you so much for sharing, love it, looks great.. we love the down soup too for stains as wells 🙌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🥰
Hi! Isn’t Dawn dish soap the best?!
Great video , I use Kirby spot remover on mine works awesome . I’ll have to try out your mixture 👌👌👌
Thanks so much! I’ve never heard of Kirby spot remover but that’s good to know too thanks for sharing!!
@@LivingGratefully I did a review on it a few wks back
I am so happy to find your video! I am going to try this on the floor board of my car! Thank you for sharing your video!
+LaRee L. Hughett I’m so excited for you to try it! Thanks for your comment you made me smile :) Welcome to Living Gratefully 💕
@@LivingGratefully I tried this today! The floorboard of my car was already in need of trying something and I spilled my strawberry frappucino all over the floorboard that was already in need of some TLC, now lets add some strawberry puree on top of it! I immediately remembered your video and got the stuff. Only thing I did different was I used the blue Palmolive with Oxy and I did use the spray bottle. Every thing else was exactly like your video. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! I started looking around the house for other spots to use it on! Those who try to say this solution does not work may have not made the solution properly or maybe way trying to use it as paint remover...ALTHOUGH, I am not above trying it for that purpose as well. THIS WORKS for strawberry puree and shoe scum on the floor board of a car! The only elbow grease required is in the blotting process, unless your entire carpet is atrocious, in which case you probably need to use a steam cleaner or replace the darn tootin' thing all together!
Lol this made me laugh out loud! I’m so happy that it worked for you! And I agree it’s amazing that it doesn’t even take that much elbow grease it’s truly surprising how well it works on old set in stains!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience :) have the best day!
I dropped a full bowl of tofu kim chi soup on my carpet. If you don't know what that is, its very orange and red. This is the 4th carpet cleaning video I've come across and the ONLY one that is working! I'm down a toothbrush but this really did work! I'm still scrubbing but wanted to write a thank you before I forget!!!
I even used this off brand dish soap instead of Dawn and it still worked!! REALLY quickly too! My carpet isn't discolored either. Sorry for wall spam but really am just grateful for your video!
Hi Kellee! Wow, this is such good news to hear that the solution worked for you! YAY! I love hearing all these details too! Like the fact that the off brand dish soap worked well!!! Thank you for being grateful for my video - I’m grateful to hear from you!! 💕
O M G…I totally should have done a before and after! This vid worked like a charm. I put all of the ingredients in a bottle and sprayed it over the stain, then used salt to help absorb the moisture & vacuumed.
Ooooh, the spray bottle - what a great idea! And the salt… so interesting! Yay, I’m so glad it worked well and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with me & with our living gratefully community! Your comment made my day. This is why I do UA-cam - I love to help others but I also love it when y’all help me!
Instead of salt Can I used baking soda? Also what kind of salt did you use?
@@jalissa4120 I used regular table salt. Baking soda would probably work too. The salt sort of clumped together and made it easier to remove and less to vacuum.
Wow! I love that you shared this thank you so much for replying to the questions and helping us ALL out! I love our grateful community!! ♥️
@@beckya.9594 thanks for the salt tip. Did you put the salt on after scrubbing?
Thank you so much!
You are so welcome Sharon! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! 💕
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing. How are you in about cleaning the carpet and how you cleaned it hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. Great video. Great tips.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!! 💕 Cathy
This is literally the ONLY recipe that has helped get 2 year old stains out of my carpet.
Yay! So glad it worked!
I love hydrogen peroxide for cleaning I use it to clean my kitchen floors in a bucket of water with some fabuloso too.
Wow! I had no idea you can use it for floors! Thanks for sharing!
I pour it on my toothbrush daily before I put toothpaste on the brush.
Thank you
You’re welcome!
