How To Remove Grease Stains On Carpet

Removing any type of stain doesn’t always call for expensive and popular stain removers. Most of the time these stain removers are ineffective, therefore you are not getting your money’s worth. You can always find the perfect mix by looking underneath your sink, in your laundry room, or just in your kitchen cupboards. Mixing up a cleaning solution of your own is inexpensive and less harsh on your items at home.  

First Method:
Scrape off excess grease, then sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the stain. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, and then vacuum.
Using a clean cloth, sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent. Blot until the solvent is absorbed. If the stain is not gone, mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with this solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the detergent/vinegar solution.

Second Method:

First Scrape off excess grease. Then make this solution: mix 1 tablespoon of ammonia with ¼ teaspoon dish soap and 1 quart of water in a spray bottle. This mixture will help to dissolve most of the grease. Spray the mixture lightly onto the grease stain. Lightly moisten the stain, don't soak it. Blot the stain with rag or paper towel to remove moisture and help work the cleaning solution into the carpet. You may see the stain begin to disappear at this point.

Keep spraying and blotting the stain until it's gone. Rinse with a spray bottle of clean water, making sure not to soak the area.
