Cleaning Tips

Right, I've no idea whatsoever where to post this. So posting this here, as it seemed the best alternative- if a mod feels it should be moved elsewhere, please do so half expecting this to be moved to the Ladies Lounge for some reason.

Anyways, I'm in the need of some cleaning tips. Preferably ones on how to clean carpets and what are the best products to use. The carpet in my rented accomodation has some stains and I plan on moving within the next month or so. The stains I am speaking of are tea stains and the like.

So, what are the best ways to clean?

Red wine...it gets those tea stains right out

Bleach, burn it out of the carpet

Failing that, vinegar or baking soda may work.

Rub in some petrol and then light it.

Look at the similar threads box and you'll see bonyarsebogman has asked this kind of question before. I reckon he has a cleaning fetish.

P.S. Cod liver oil and sour milk will get out most stains

Pour tea all over the carpet and you won't see the stain. Tea. Hot. Earl Grey.

In hindsight I prob should've posted this in Help Desk. Sounds like it could be useful ..

sneak up on your landlord, gouge out their eyes-then when the come to examine the apartment the wont be able to see the stains!

i find 1001 to be quite useless to be honest...

Clean the stain as soon as its made.. Blot..don't scrub, you can spread the stain wiping.

Try get your hands on a good steemer or hoover with an attachment that washes the carpet, Pour cold water onto the tea stain and then use a carpet stain remover.

Or just don't spill the tea...:pac:

Do a dirty protest in the room for a few weeks and then invite one of those "How clean is your house?" programmes in to clean up. Easy!
