<p>&nbsp;</p> <h1>How to remove stains from a rug</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>That brand new area rug you bought really makes the room pop, but not with ugly spills and stains all over it. Don&rsquo;t worry &ndash; you&rsquo;ve got this.</p> <p>For simple carpet stains, dry the stain with a cloth or paper towel and then treat the area with cold water. Avoid using hot water as it may make the stain harder to remove.</p> <p>Using a cloth, gently dab the stained area from the outside in. Never rub or wipe, as doing so could potentially damage the rug and make the stain worse.</p> <p>Once the stain has been successfully removed, put paper towel down to cover the area. Once dry, vacuum the rug.&nbsp;</p> <p>More resistant stains can be combated by dabbing mixtures of cold water with vinegar, dish detergent or non-bleach laundry detergent to the stained area.&nbsp;</p> <p>People should notice your great style, not your dirty rug &ndash; you&rsquo;ve got this.&nbsp;</p>
