Any DIY carpet stain removal methods?
I really don't want to get Stanley Steamer to come out. Huge house, it would cost a small fortune to get them to come out... did that once before.
I've got old hard water stains from a previous leak on the carpet, cat pee, and misc spilled coffee type stains. It doesn't smell and is only slightly visible now -- it's mostly the old stains I've previously had carpet cleaned coming back.
I'm not able to replace the carpet now.
I've tried vinegar with baking soda on it. That made a huge mess and left white residue on the carpet too.
I've sprayed vinegar and water on the stains. That helped a little, but not fully.
I have an "at home" Bissell steam cleaner, but that's not good for "tough" stains.
Woolite carpet stain removal spray worked for one of the stains, but I would need way too many bottles of that to do the entire house. That would be pricey and tiring to spray everywhere. Is there a DIY alternative that I could pour on it?
Would it help to literally pour vinegar on the carpet stains with no water? Or put vinegar in my Bissell steam cleaner?
