what is the best product to take out ground in dirt and pet messes
my carpet is supposed to be green….its black in a majority of spots, and hard in other spots!
i mean it doesnt have to be like 100 percent every stain taken out
just so it doesnt look so nasty, and i can actually have people over without them thinking im a slob,
because im the complete opposite.
my fiancee and and dont have the money right now to have all the carpet replaced
and the previous owners (his family) obviously didnt care about the carpet, or cleaning for that matter.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, so i have a cat, not log hair but i have a golden retriever with tons of hairs. my family consists in 50 year old man, 48 year old mother, 12 year old son, dog, beta, cat, and a snake! (the kid was dying for one) no one knows how and doesn’t wanna clean the rugs and carpet since our house is 3/4th rugs and carpet, the living room is huge and the dirtiest, how can we get our carpet clean and hairless like the Stanley Steamers leave?? where can i buy one of those steamers and stain free things??? please help!!!

I have a Bissell Little Green Clean Machine and I’m wondering how to make the solution that I would put in the vac to clean up any stain on the carpet. Any ideas?

We take great care of our tank, check water often and clean it regulary…The fish are doing well and happy, and the tank is a beautiful clear. It use to get a little green, and hard to get off. We had to scrap it to get it off. NOW both side walls are greening up, it look like carpeted walls. What can we put in there to stop the green from coming. Is there something else we need to do to prevent this? We use an algae eater also. Whenever we do our water changes we add just what the bottle says. Is THIS algae? Please help!!!!! We do love our tank and the fish in it. Thank you for any advice on this matter.

Last night I spilled a cup of red fruit punch, immediately blotted the spill, I could not wet vac the carpet at the time because there are two babies in my household and our wet vac is VERY loud. I did however vacuum the area this morning and went over the spot with a mixture of; Simple Green, Carpet Cleaner and water. My carpet is a basic cream/oatmeal color so the stain looks horrible, it did lighten after the first and second scrubbing today, and even though I scrubbed twice and the color got a teeny bit lighter, It is still very prominent, and a major eye sore. Not sure what else to do, has anyone else found a solution for red/colored spills? And what is the best way to clean up a dog accident and keep them from doing it again (I have puppy mill rescue who gets very nervous, and yes I know that there are "pet diapers" for pets, but that is not an option. All help is appreciated!!!!

Today I made a recipe for an environmentally safe chemical free product to clean my carpet and it worked! Does anyone have other green recipes they would be willing to share? I would like to try making more cleaning products and save money and help the earth.

My son spit up a bunch of formula all over my olive green twill couch. I used Woolite Oxy Deep (carpet cleaner that is usually AMAZING) on it and now the area I spray is significantly lighter than the rest. When I was rubbing the stain, no green dye came off on my rag, so I don’t think the color is actually out of the furniture, but it looks hideous. Any suggestions?

My cat(s) has urinated twice on my carpet. I have done EVERYTHING. Nothing seems to remove the odor. I have no padded carpeting. I DON’T want anything that will stain my carpet either. I bought a Hoover carpet cleaner and have been cleaning my carpet for days. I’ve tried "Resolve", "Pine Sol", "vinegar and water solution", "Simple Green", "Skunk Odor Remover", "Live Micro 535", "alcohol and water solution", and "Draft" fragrance spray. I bought "Out! Stain and Odor Remover" so I’m going to try this. My cats are very old and I cannot deal with this anymore. I don’t know what I’m going to do, besides having to euthanize them. I don’t need anyone telling me I’m a horrible pet owner, because I’m not. I need some HELP! What can I use that will remove this cat urine odor. Removing my carpet is not an option. Is there anything else that can remove this odor?
Both of my cats are in their late teens almost twenty. I have brought them BOTH to the veterinarian. I’m also a Veterinarian Assistant. My one cat has had many strokes and suffers from dementia. NOTHING is wrong with them, besides old age. My carpet has NO PADDING either, and pulling it up to wash is not an option. I’ve asked advice from everyone even googled.
By the way THANK-YOU for the advice.

I have a red table cloth that I’m using for the Thanksgiving holiday and I got it out from storage to iron creases. I put thick blankets on the floor to use as an "ironing board" since it’s too big to just iron on a real one. I must not have overlapped the blankets well in an area because now there’s this light but noticeable line of yellowish orange color on the carpet.
I have a Little Green Machine; will that lift the yellowish orange color? Or is there some other cleaning supplies I can try?

I recently moved into my first apartment and its pretty nice except for the carpet in the living room. Its a kight green color and it’s just full if stains. I would love to just put a new carpet in but thats not really practical because I’m just renting the place. It waould cost stanley steamers about 0 to clean it but this carpet is really old and stained. Would it even be worth that? I’m afraid I’m gonna spend the money and it’s still gonna look gross
