Daily life can create difficult to remove stains on your carpet.
Stainmaster carpets where introduced in 1986 by DuPont to reduce the amount of staining that can occur over the lifetime of the carpet. Stainmaster carpets are not impervious to staining, and certain items -- such as Pepto-Bismol -- can still leave an unsightly spot on your carpet. The dye contained in Pepto-Bismol will quickly adhere to the carpet's fibers, making removal difficult. If you act quickly enough, you can remove the stain with a few common household items. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Dampen several paper towels with warm water. Blot the Pepto-Bismol stain with the damp paper towels until you can no longer transfer the Pepto-Bismol to the paper towels.
2. Pour 3 percent hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain. Blot -- do not rub -- the stain with a clean, white cloth. Begin blotting at the outer edge of the stain and work your way inward.
3. Rinse the white cloth clean with cool, running water when it becomes soiled. Continue applying hydrogen peroxide and blotting with the cloth until the stain is no longer visible.
4. Pat the carpet dry with a clean, white towel.
